Description Val 2015-10-28 10:50:30 UTC

Hi Kate team,
Since the last update of the KDE applications packages on Arch Linux (15.08.2 with KDE Frameworks 5.15.0), the loading of my Git repositories stopped working in the project plugin. My projects have .kateproject files, but I've also tried without such files, it doesn't make any difference. The "auto-load" setting for Git is enabled in kate's settings.
This is something I'm extensively using and it's making my programming life miserable these days.
Is there something that I could fix on my machine, or is it an actual bug?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file which is part of a Git repository
2. Open the "project" panel on the left

Actual Results:  
All open files appear under "<untracked>", and none of the other files and folders of the repo shows up.

Expected Results:  
Before the update, the repositories loaded perfectly and I could navigate through all of their content.

As I said above, I'm using ArchLinux, official packages, nothing compiled from source.
Kate version is 15.08.2
KDE Frameworks version is 5.15.0
Qt version is 5.5.1

I can confirm this bug also on latest packages on Debian Sid.
Kate version 15.08.2
Using:
 * KDE Frameworks 5.15.0
 * Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.4.2)
 * The xcb windowing system

I just tested with building the latest git, the problem is the same.
One more info to track it down, it is built with libGit2.

Comment 5 Mathieu Jobin 2015-12-17 14:33:17 UTC

I'm not sure when this patch should have been deployed. I have this bug for a while now, on both Kubuntu and ArchLinux

I am still experiencing this issue as of kate 15.08.3-3

I have everything upgraded to the latest available, 5.17 and 5.5.1 and 15.08.3

thanks
