Richard Hartmann dixit: >git natively. metastore exists, but its binary storage format is According to the documentation, metastore supports saving/restoring POSIX Extended Attributes (however I got EOPNOTSUPP trying to setfacl and setxattr, so I couldnât verify the claim). It does *not* however track the stuff visible using lsattr(1) on ext2fs. Personally, I think this should definitively be tracked in git, not in extra files (like â EA DATA. SFâ in OS/2) managed with external tools (reminds me too much of things like umsdos and Rock Ridge as well). Support needs not be part of core git, especially restoring can be dangerous (consider SELinux), plus itâs very platform and filesystem dependent, but seeing that people seem to want to use git for keeping their /etc (I use RCS, myself, but volunteered my C skill to change metastore if it needs be) there is definitively a market for having it there, in a standardised manner. bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh -- 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
