handle could not be opened / terminal is not fully functional

[corsen2000]

Hello,

When I move into a directory containing and git repository and run git log, I recieve the following messages:

WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
-  (press RETURN)

And

The handle could not be opened
during redirection of handle 0.
The handle could not be opened
during redirection of handle 0.

I receive these messages in other scenarios as well, this is just one example.

This is a clean installation of Cmder v1.1.3. I do not get these issues when using git-bash.

I am running git 1.7.9.msysgit.0.

Any suggestions on what I can try to fix this?

Thank you.

I was able to solve this issue with 2 steps:

1. Setting the TERM environment variable msys. This fixed the "terminal is not fully functional" issues.
2. Removing a location to a git executable on my path that came with the rails installer for windows. This git was taking precedence. After removing this, the git that comes with cmder is taking precedence. This fixed the "handle could not be opened issues".

Thank you.

thank you @corsen2000 , in Windows easy take control of that environment variable by console typing:

 setx TERM msys
