There is a concurrency issue in
git tag -l
which leads to the pipe still being written when readers are done.The issue seems to arise as the tag list is getting big enough.
Looking at "the internet" this issue seems related to the internal use of grep by git: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19120263/why-exit-code-141-with-grep-q
This fix ensures that the
git tag -l
command has finished before piping the result to the next commands.See also https://tldp.org/LDP/lpg/node20.html
