require('child_process').exec('git summary')

[zxdong262]

get nothing, but require('child_process').exec('git summary --line') will get the right stdout.

var exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('git summary', function(err, stdout) {
    //nothing in here works
})

exec('git summary --line', function(err, stdout) {
    //works fine
    assert(stdout)
})

When I try use node to get the stdout from git summary, I find this strange thing, do not know why. I hope it can be fixed. Thanks.

hmm?

I just wrote some code to reproduce it:

var exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('git summary', function(err, stdout) {
    console.log(stdout);
})

Got nothing.

However,

exec "git summary" if fork.nil? # ruby code

This time it output correct result.

So, I guess it is not a bug of git-extras. @zxdong262 Maybe you need to dive into child_process?
