seeing lots of warning messages for unknown date format with older Git

[ilovemaui]

If anyone knows if this is a bug in the current version of opengrok - 0.13-rc5, or possibly a configuration issue, but I have been seeing thousands of these warning messages in my index output..
WARNING: Failed to determineCurrentVersion for /myopengrok/mydir java.io.IOException: fatal: unknown date format format:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M

if anyone can shed light on this. This is running with jdk1.8.0_72, universal-ctags, and opengrok-0.13-rc5

What SCM is this ?

[vladak]

Assuming this is Git, you are likely running version older than 2.6 and might be therefore missing the fix in cset bdb4975 which is not in 0.13-rc5.

we are grabbing the source with an older version of git - 1.7.12.3
I think we do have a newer version 2.10.1 - if we switch to this newer version, will this problem go away? and to use this new version, do I have to reclone all of my repos using the new version?

[vladak]

Switching to git newer than 2.6 should fix the problem I believe however I am not sure if this involves repo upgrade. Instead you can give https://github.com/OpenGrok/OpenGrok/releases/tag/0.13.rc6 a try.

ok. let me try new version 1st of opengrok. thx.

Use any of the grok revisions after the mentioned commit (so for example rc6). The problem should be solved with that commit

[tulinkry]

No further reaction and the solution was proposed so closing.

FYI - I'm getting this error again using opengrok 1.1 rc61 and git version 1.7.1 (I'm not sure if it matters or not because the version of git I'm using is so old)

2018-10-25 13:59:03.511 WARNING [org.opengrok.indexer.history] - Failed to determineCurrentVersion for /mygitrepo: java.io.IOException: fatal: unknown date format iso8601-strict

[tulinkry]

Yes, it matters. The iso8601-strict is available in higher versions of git only.

Also see #1884 and the introducing PR #1314 and after it we don't support older git version.

Would it be possible to add the git2.6+ version requirement to this document? I would do it but I'm not sure that's something you guys want to do....
