The cygwin version has the same problem. (In fact, it is even worse, because we have an optimized version for lstat/stat but not for fstat, and they return different values for some fields like i_no). But even if we used the only Cygwin functions, we would still face the problem, because Windows returns the wrong values for timestamps (and maybe even size on FAT?). So I think the following patch should be squashed on top. -- >8 -- >From 1f957680d9b0e0bfeda9bf0e20397b0323b45334 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Potapov <dpotapov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:54:16 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] cygwin: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry() --- Makefile | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 2af0dfb..177dc15 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -809,6 +809,7 @@ ifeq ($(uname_S),HP-UX) endif ifneq (,$(findstring CYGWIN,$(uname_S))) COMPAT_OBJS += compat/cygwin.o + UNRELIABLE_FSTAT = UnfortunatelyYes endif ifneq (,$(findstring MINGW,$(uname_S))) NO_PREAD = YesPlease -- 1.6.1.20.gee856 -- >8 -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
