2009-03-22Use prerequisite tags to skip tests that depend on symbolic linksLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-3/+3
Many tests depend on that symbolic links work. This introduces a check that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports symbolic links. Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite, we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test in many scripts. To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux: $ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000 $ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt Clone git to /mnt and $ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7 t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \ make test (These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on Linux does not provide.)

2008-08-04add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
This is the same fix for the issue of adding "sym/path" when "sym" is a symblic link that points at a directory "dir" with "path" in it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-04update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+20
When "sym" is a symbolic link that is inside the working tree, and it points at a directory "dir" that has "path" in it, "update-index --add sym/path" used to mistakenly add "sym/path" as if "sym" were a normal directory. "git apply", "git diff" and "git merge" have been taught about this issue some time ago, but "update-index" and "add" have been left ignorant for too long.
