Rename core.unreliableHardlinks to core.createObject

2009-04-29T23:50:07Z

"Unreliable hardlinks" is a misleading description for what is happening. So rename it to something less misleading. Suggested by Linus Torvalds. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Makefile: installing git in cygwin 1.7.0

2009-04-28T18:47:54Z

On platforms with $X, make removes any leftover scripts 'a' from earlier builds if a new binary 'a.exe' is now built. However, on cygwin 1.7.0, 'git' and 'git.exe' now consistently name the same file. Test for file equality before attempting a remove, in order to avoid nuking just-built binaries. This repeats commit 0d768f7 for the installation destdir. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Makefile: fix NO_PERL bug with gitweb

2009-04-28T05:59:38Z

When the user has defined NO_PERL, we want to skip building gitweb entirely. However, the conditional to add gitweb/gitweb.cgi to OTHER_PROGRAMS was evaluated before we actually parsed the user's config.mak. This meant that "make NO_PERL=NoThanks" worked fine, but putting "NO_PERL=NoThanks" into your config.mak broke the build (it wanted gitweb.cgi to satisfy "all", but the rule to build it was conditionally ignored, so it complained).

Add semicolon to curly brace group in main Makefile

2009-04-27T08:07:08Z

This semicolon is technically required by POSIX shell and indeed causes a syntax error with e.g. bash-2.04.0. Cf. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_04_01 Signed-off-by: Mark Drago Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable

2009-04-25T16:49:21Z

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

Makefile: ignore perl/ subdirectory under NO_PERL

2009-04-23T19:53:32Z

The install target still descends into perl subdirectory when NO_PERL is requested. Fix this. Acked-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()

2009-04-20T19:14:02Z

Commit e4c72923 (write_entry(): use fstat() instead of lstat() when file is open, 2009-02-09) introduced an optimization of write_entry(). Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of this optimization on Windows because there is no guarantee that the time stamps are updated before the file is closed: "The only guarantee about a file timestamp is that the file time is correctly reflected when the handle that makes the change is closed." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx) The failure of this optimization on Windows can be observed most easily by running a 'git checkout' that has to update several large files. In this case, 'git checkout' will report modified files, but infact only the timestamps were incorrectly recorded in the index, as can be verified by a subsequent 'git diff', which shows no change. Dmitry Potapov reports the same fix needs on Cygwin; this commit contains his updates for that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
