• node 4.4.0
• shelljs 0.7.0
• windows 7, using git bash

Using shelljs to stdout Git log does not work (in grunt file currently).

var shell = require('shelljs');

console.log(shell.exec('node -v'));

Works, console stdout : stdout: 'v4.4.0\r\n'

console.log(shell.exec('git log --no-merges --pretty=medium HEAD^...HEAD'));

Does not works, Works, console stdout : stdout: ''

While this Git log works in Git bash :

$ git log --no-merges --pretty=medium HEAD^...HEAD
