Moving a directory ending in a slash was not working as the destination was not calculated correctly. E.g. in the git repo, git-mv t/ Documentation gave the error Error: destination 'Documentation' already exists To get rid of this problem, strip trailing slashes from all arguments. The comment in cg-mv made me curious about this issue; Pasky, thanks! As result, the workaround in cg-mv is not needed any more. Also, another bug was shown by cg-mv. When moving files outside of a subdirectory, it typically calls git-mv with something like git-mv Documentation/git.txt Documentation/../git-mv.txt which triggers the following error from git-update-index: Ignoring path Documentation/../git-mv.txt The result is a moved file, removed from git revisioning, but not added again. To fix this, the paths have to be normalized not have ".." in the middle. This was already done in git-mv, but only for a better visual appearance :( Signed-off-by: Josef Weidendorfer <Josef.Weidendorfer@xxxxxx> --- git-mv.perl | 24 +++++++++++++----------- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) 15d94ce0807c1d99d10f6c3ddd32963b1ac0fece diff --git a/git-mv.perl b/git-mv.perl index 8cd95c4..9b43dcc 100755 --- a/git-mv.perl +++ b/git-mv.perl @@ -31,11 +31,12 @@ chomp($GIT_DIR); my (@srcArgs, @dstArgs, @srcs, @dsts); my ($src, $dst, $base, $dstDir); +# remove any trailing slash in arguments +for (@ARGV) { s/\/*$//; } + my $argCount = scalar @ARGV; if (-d $ARGV[$argCount-1]) { $dstDir = $ARGV[$argCount-1]; - # remove any trailing slash - $dstDir =~ s/\/$//; @srcArgs = @ARGV[0..$argCount-2]; foreach $src (@srcArgs) { @@ -61,6 +62,16 @@ else { $dstDir = ""; } +# normalize paths, needed to compare against versioned files and update-index +# also, this is nicer to end-users by doing ".//a/./b/.//./c" ==> "a/b/c" +for (@srcArgs, @dstArgs) { + s|^\./||; + s|/\./|/| while (m|/\./|); + s|//+|/|g; + # Also "a/b/../c" ==> "a/c" + 1 while (s,(^|/)[^/]+/\.\./,$1,); +} + my (@allfiles,@srcfiles,@dstfiles); my $safesrc; my (%overwritten, %srcForDst); @@ -79,15 +90,6 @@ while(scalar @srcArgs > 0) { $dst = shift @dstArgs; $bad = ""; - for ($src, $dst) { - # Be nicer to end-users by doing ".//a/./b/.//./c" ==> "a/b/c" - s|^\./||; - s|/\./|/| while (m|/\./|); - s|//+|/|g; - # Also "a/b/../c" ==> "a/c" - 1 while (s,(^|/)[^/]+/\.\./,$1,); - } - if ($opt_v) { print "Checking rename of '$src' to '$dst'\n"; } -- 1.2.0.g719b - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
