When commiting the change fails, committer.scm outputs a backtrace.
While one can packagers be experienced enough to understand the error
even if it is garbled by the backtrace,
I propose suppressing it for two reasons:
1. The backtrace makes it harder to spot the actual error (since one
needs to "parse" more text)
2. I often have issues with my guix development environment being
instable. So when I see a backtrace from commiter.scm, I think about
issues with my environment first - and not about an issue with git :-)
Expected
================
No backtrace, but a concise error message, like here:
$ ./pre-inst-env guile ./etc/committer.scm
gnu: python-stdnum: Update to 1.17.
* gnu/packages/finance.scm (python-stdnum): Update to 1.17.
error: gpg beim Signieren der Daten fehlgeschlagen
fatal: Fehler beim Schreiben des Commit-Objektes.
etc/committer.scm:399:24: Cannot commit
Reproduce
=================
There might be other ways to trigger a failing "git commit". For me it
occured when using an outdated PGPG key for signing:
1. Configure git to use the outdated GPG key for signing, e.g.
git config --get user.signingkey 634A8DFFD3F631DF
2. use committer.scm to commit some changes:
$ ./pre-inst-env guile ./etc/committer.scm
gnu: python-stdnum: Update to 1.17.
* gnu/packages/finance.scm (python-stdnum): Update to 1.17.
error: gpg beim Signieren der Daten fehlgeschlagen
fatal: Fehler beim Schreiben des Commit-Objektes.
