Does any one use git on MorphOS? I have some question(s)...

If I set ED as GIT editor:
Code:
```
git config core.editor ed
```
and try to commit:
Code:
```
git commit .
```
ED is opened, I write a comment, save and quit ED.
However commit process is not finished. I see in CLI:
Code:
```
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file...
```
How to inform git that edition of the file is finished?

It is not very big problem because I can use:
Code:
```
git commit . -m "Comment". 
```
However I would like to know if an editor could be used for comments.

This is due to an unfortunate bug in ixemul.library where it can crash if executing non-ixemul applications. I failed to identify this bug earlier even though it was reported via the bug tracker. This happened because the crash requires specific set of circumstances to exist to get triggered. Due to bad luck (and the less than stellar testing procedures from my part) I happened to have the specific configuration that hid the issue from me.

This ixemul.library is now fixed and will be released in either MorphOS 3.15 or as part of the new SDK release.

Meanwhile, there is a workaround to fix the crash for this particular use case: Downgrade the MOSSYS:C/Ed to a version from the MorphOS 3.13 ISO.

To clarify: The bug is not in new Ed. It's just that using the older Ed binary avoids the specific set of circumstances to occur that leads to the crash with the buggy ixemul.library.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Well, I use Ed too, without any problems.

Snoopium "ed foo" says

If the fix will be released in next version of SDK, I can wait. This is not major critical issue for me.
Thank you for answer and... see you in SDK 3.15. 👋

Apologies. I was trying to reply to earlier message but hit message edit instead...

@polluks

Ed itself is working fine here, that's not where the issue is.

MorphOS 3.15 is now out with the fixed ixemul.library, effectively fixing this issue.
I also recommend installing the new SDK 3.16 since it includes fixes to SDK components, too.
