2009-03-19Tests on Windows: $(pwd) must return Windows-style pathsLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+1
Many tests pass $(pwd) in some form to git and later test that the output of git contains the correct value of $(pwd). For example, the test of 'git remote show' sets up a remote that contains $(pwd) and then the expected result must contain $(pwd). Again, MSYS-bash's path mangling kicks in: Plain $(pwd) uses the MSYS style absolute path /c/path/to/git. The test case would write this name into the 'expect' file. But when git is invoked, MSYS-bash converts this name to the Windows style path c:/path/to/git, and git would produce this form in the result; the test would fail. We fix this by passing -W to bash's pwd that produces the Windows-style path. There are a two cases that need an accompanying change: - In t1504 the value of $(pwd) becomes part of a path list. In this case, the lone 'c' in something like /foo:c:/path/to/git:/bar inhibits MSYS-bashes path mangling; IOW in this case we want the /c/path/to/git form to allow path mangling. We use $PWD instead of $(pwd), which always has the latter form. - In t6200, $(pwd) - the Windows style path - must be used to construct the expected result because that is the path form that git sees. (The change in the test itself is just for consistency: 'git fetch' always sees the Windows-style path, with or without the change.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
2009-02-07Fix GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES on WindowsLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+3
Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive letter or a backslash. This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead, which can handle Windows-style paths just fine. Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting colons to be used as path list delimiter. The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch some cases.)

2008-05-23Add support for GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIESLibravatar David Reiss1-0/+163
Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR. Useful for avoiding slow network directories. For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and "git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.
