2009-03-22	Use prerequisite tags to skip tests that depend on symbolic links	Johannes Sixt	1	-0/+6
	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.)

2007-07-12	Teach read-tree 2-way merge to ignore intermediate symlinks	Junio C Hamano	1	-0/+50
	Earlier in 16a4c61, we taught "read-tree -m -u" not to be confused when switching from a branch that has a path frotz/filfre to another branch that has a symlink frotz that points at xyzzy/ directory. The fix was incomplete in that it was still confused when coming back (i.e. switching from a branch with frotz -> xyzzy/ to another branch with frotz/filfre). This fix is rather expensive in that for a path that is created we would need to see if any of the leading component of that path exists as a symbolic link in the filesystem (in which case, we know that path itself does not exist, and the fact we already decided to check it out tells us that in the index we already know that symbolic link is going away as there is no D/F conflict).
