Hi,
I've been tracking an svn repository using git-svn and today when I
did:
git svn rebase
(which is equivalent to git svn fetch && git rebase
remotes/git-svn)
I got errors like this:
error: git-checkout-index: unable to create symlink Category/Makefile (Invalid argument)
Now while my file system isn't smart enough to tell the difference
between t and T, it does support symlinks AFAIK.
git version 1.5.0.2.293.g102a0
I can provide more info if it would help.
+ seth

Yes, it does support symlinks. Is it possible that the name Category
already existed, but as a file? Hmm.

I think in the revision before the update, there was a file
Category/Makefile and that it was replaced by a symlink.
So Category is/was a dir. Category/Makefile was a file and became a
symlink. Note that I am using git-svn to track an svn repository and
so the problem could be there.
However, I'm not sure where to look or what experiment to try next.
If I checkout an old revision prior to the file becoming a symlink and
then checkout master, I get:
git checkout -b foobar 74227bbd35a77b8
Switched to a new branch "foobar"
git checkout master
D Category/Makefile
[...snip...]
D vsn/Makefile
Switched to branch "master"
git reset --hard HEAD
error: git-checkout-index: unable to create symlink Category/Makefile (Invalid argument)
[...snip...]
error: git-checkout-index: unable to create symlink vsn/Makefile (Invalid argument)
HEAD is now at 30bd65d... the commit msg here
