Hi gitsters,
Just tried cloning an enormous repo to /tmp (which uses tmpfs)
and got
error: git checkout-index: unable to write file webkit/tools/test_shell/resources/textAreaResizeCorner.png
error: git checkout-index: unable to write file webkit/tools/test_shell/run_all_tests.cc
error: git checkout-index: unable to write file webkit/tools/test_shell/simple_appcache_system.cc
error: git checkout-index: unable to write file webkit/tools/test_shell/simple_appcache_system.h
[etc].
Maybe we can do better? It seems non-ideal in a few ways:
1) it is not checkout-index but read-tree -m that prints the message
2) errno is forgotten
3) I would prefer if "git clone" errored out quickly for ENOSPC instead
of continuing to fill in the cracks with what small files it can
find. Though I suppose the current behavior is better for errors
like EPERM and ENAMETOOLONG, so I can't complain much.
