Subject: Commit cce8d6fdb introduces file t/t5100/nul, git tree is now incompatible with Cygwin (and probably Windows)
Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 10:01:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <483AC2CE.7090801@gmail.com> (raw)
Beginning with the referenced commit, the git project cannot be checked
out on Cygwin (and I assume cannot be checked out on Windows using
msysgit, though I have not verified this) as this commit introduces the
file "t/5100/nul." On Windows, the file name "nul" is reserved,
regardless of path, and cannot be created or deleted. It serves
essentially the same function as /dev/null.
As a for instance of the troubles:
git>git checkout -f origin/master
Previous HEAD position was a2f5be5... Merge branch
'jk/maint-send-email-compose' into maint
error: git-checkout-index: unable to create file t/t5100/nul (File exists)
As this commit is part of the published master branch, I am not sure the
correct resolution: leaving this commit in place means that any commit
between it and a commit fixing this will always cause an error on Cygwin
/ Windows. Of course, it *is* on the published master branch.
Mark
