Can I change value of S_IFGITLINK to something else? >From git's cache.h: /* * A "directory link" is a link to another git directory. * * The value 0160000 is not normally a valid mode, and * also just happens to be S_IFDIR + S_IFLNK * * NOTE! We *really* shouldn't depend on the S_IFxxx macros * always having the same values everywhere. We should use * our internal git values for these things, and then we can * translate that to the OS-specific value. It just so * happens that everybody shares the same bit representation * in the UNIX world (and apparently wider too..) */ Time to implement that translation :| Michael -- 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
