Subject: git-svn failure when symlink added in svn
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 23:41:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2647zh2zc.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
A few weeks ago I reported a symlink related error with git-svn and
I've now had a chance to track down a few more details. The trigger
seems to be if a file is removed from svn and then later added as a
symlink. The error I get is:
error: git-checkout-index: unable to create symlink foo.txt (Invalid argument)
This is from the call to symlink(new, path) in entry.c and it seems
that new is ''.
Here is a recipe to reproduce:
## First create an svn repository
svnadmin create SVN123-repos
svn co file:///Users/seth/temp/SVN123-repos SVN123
cd SVN123
echo 123 > foo.txt
svn add foo.txt
svn ci -m "add a file"
## Now mirror using git-svn
cd ..
mkdir GIT123
cd GIT123/
git svn init file:///Users/seth/temp/SVN123-repos
git svn fetch
## Next remove and add a file as a symlink
cd ..
cd SVN123
echo 123 > bar.txt
svn add bar.txt
svn ci -m"add bar"
svn rm foo.txt
svn ci -m "remove foo"
ln -s bar.txt foo.txt
svn add foo.txt
svn ci -m"add foo as symlink"
## Finally, try to rebase
cd ../GIT123/
git svn rebase
git version 1.5.1.53.g77e6f
svn 1.4.0
