Subject: bug#19731: 24.4; /dev/null is deleted by tramp-sh.el
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:18:58 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL0=0H2eCoy1-O2K=Z+ixu3BMRBqSwWdnbxHtRRShzOKa40V4g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1397412#p1397412
, if HISTFILE=/dev/null is set as an environment variable, /dev/null
can be deleted and replaced by a regular file with permission 600.
If I fiddled with magit over tramp sudo method for a while and exited
emacs, I see /dev/null replaced with a regular file with permission
600.
After some inspections, I found HISTFILE=/dev/null in tramp-sh.el.
Could tramp-sh.el be the cause of /dev/null problem?
