[PATCH/RFH] Racy GIT (part #3)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Does everybody have "cp -p" to preserve the file timestamps on
his/her platform?  I am assuming this is safe (it is in POSIX),
but please raise hand if that is not a case for you.

Commit 29e4d3635709778bcc808dbad0477efad82f8d7e fixed the
underlying update-index races but git-commit was not careful
enough to preserve the index file timestamp when copying the
index file.  This caused t3402 test to occasionally fail.
