If there's an issue about this already, please feel free to close this one.\r\n\r\n- Have latest portable version available (2.5.2.2, 64bit) (reproducable also in 2.5.1, didn't test other 2.x releases)\r\n- Have PostgreSQL installed and configured properly (= binaries in PATH) with a password\r\n- Open git-bash.exe from Explorer\r\n- Type `psql`\r\n\r\nExpected:\r\n\r\n- There's a prompt asking the user to type in the password\r\n\r\nActual: \r\n\r\n- Shell does nothing, seems to hang, need to exit with Ctrl-C\r\n\r\nThe same works fine if running the command from `bin/bash.exe`. Also, with the old 1.9.5 version of msysgit this works fine. I'm on Windows 8.1.\r\n\r\nEncountered this with `psql`, but this might be a common thing with some other similar interactive programs?\r\n\r\n```\r\n$ git --version\r\ngit version 2.5.2.windows.2\r\n\r\n$ psql --version\r\npsql (PostgreSQL) 9.4.1\r\n\r\n$ which psql\r\n/c/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.4/bin/psql\r\n\r\n$ psql\r\n // nothing...\r\n```"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/git-for-windows/git/issues/comments/141093555","html_url":"https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/399#issuecomment-141093555","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/git-for-windows/git/issues/399","id":141093555,"user":{"login":"dscho","id":127790,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho","html_url":"https://github.com/dscho","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dscho/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-17T13:53:00Z","updated_at":"2015-09-17T13:53:00Z","body":"> Otherwise, and probably even with such notice, there's going to be these kind of issues popping in continuously :).\r\n\r\nI agree. It is of no use pointing out that we try to support Git here, and not a bazillion of interactive consoles for other software.\r\n\r\nBTW can you think of more interactive interpreters than the ones I had listed?"}}
