I do not believe so. Well, at least it is not what version control system is about; git is designed towards manual and not automatic commits, and version control of source code. > > So your problem could be quite hard to debug, whilst being distinctly > > difficult to ascertain the root causes. > 1.

But it is reproductible to you: from what I understand you didn't find some minimal example to reproduce this issue without need for access your proprietary build process.

To debug it, if you cannot do it yourself, you would have to find git developer who is both knowledgeable about fairly deep part of git code, and can work with remote debugging with you at remote. P.S. Somewhere in the depths of git maling list archive (it didn't unfortunately made it to "Interfaces, Frontends and tools" page on git wiki) there is tool/script for anonymizing git repository, to allow debugging of bugs which occurs in some repositories that cannot be made public. Perhaps something similar could be done for your build process (you need to reproduce only stat + git part)? -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- 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
