More symlink/directory troubles

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

 



This is a follow up to the original thread and patch at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/122297.  There was
a bug report about problems when a directory is replaced with a symlink.  I
said that the patch fixed the bug for me, but I didn't test thoroughly
enough, because it turns out there are 3 bugs, and the patch only fixed one
of them.

I am sending some test scripts to demonstrate the bugs in hopes of spurring
some activity here.  I think the convention is to use test_expect_failure
for this sort of test, so that's what I did.

Unfortunately I have very little time in the next 2 weeks, so I probably
won't be able to do much more than send the tests, and fix them up if
necessary.  In 2 weeks I can take a look at the C code, if it isn't already
fixed by then.
