2021-03-18checkout: don't follow symlinks when removing entriesLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-0/+12
At 1d718a5108 ("do not overwrite untracked symlinks", 2011-02-20), symlink.c:check_leading_path() started returning different codes for FL_ENOENT and FL_SYMLINK. But one of its callers, unlink_entry(), was not adjusted for this change, so it started to follow symlinks on the leading path of to-be-removed entries. Fix that and add a regression test. Note that since 1d718a5108 check_leading_path() no longer differentiates the case where it found a symlink in the path's leading components from the cases where it found a regular file or failed to lstat() the component. So, a side effect of this current patch is that unlink_entry() now returns early in all of these three cases. And because we no longer try to unlink such paths, we also don't get the warning from remove_or_warn(). For the regular file and symlink cases, it's questionable whether the warning was useful in the first place: unlink_entry() removes tracked paths that should no longer be present in the state we are checking out to. If the path had its leading dir replaced by another file, it means that the basename already doesn't exist, so there is no need for a warning. Sure, we are leaving a regular file or symlink behind at the path's dirname, but this file is either untracked now (so again, no need to warn), or it will be replaced by a tracked file during the next phase of this checkout operation. As for failing to lstat() one of the leading components, the basename might still exist only we cannot unlink it (e.g. due to the lack of the required permissions). Since the user expect it to be removed (especially with checkout's --no-overlay option), add back the warning in this more relevant case.

2013-06-07tests: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite (trivial cases)Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-4/+8
There are many instances where the treatment of symbolic links in the object model and the algorithms are tested, but where it is not necessary to actually have a symbolic link in the worktree. Make adjustments to the tests and remove the SYMLINKS prerequisite when appropriate in trivial cases, where "trivial" means: - merely a replacement of 'ln -s a b && git add b' by test_ln_s_add is needed; - a test for symbolic link on the file system can be split off (and remains protected by SYMLINKS); - existing code is equivalent to test_ln_s_add.

2011-02-15Demonstrate breakage: checkout overwrites untracked symlink with directoryLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+50
This adds tests where an untracked file and an untracked symlink are in the way where a directory should be created by 'git checkout'. Commit b1735b1a (do not overwrite files in leading path, 2010-12-14) fixed the case where a file is in the way, but the untracked symlink is still removed silently.
