It fails on FreeBSD where the appropriate way to specify default ACL's is with the "-d" option. The "d[efault]:" syntax is invalid on FreeBSD. Well, I'm not sure there is a right answer here. Linux accepts -d or "d[efault]" Solaris only accepts "d[efault]" FreeBSD only accepts -d a quick search shows z/OS only accepts "d[efault]" other? I think most everything else rolls their own implementation into chmod or chacl or something like that. The abandoned POSIX draft does actually specify the FreeBSD behavior. So I think it's kind of a toss-up. Which option we choose should probably depend on whether we get more test coverage by using the "d[efault]" notation or by using the -d option. That depends on whether there are more Solaris users compiling git or whether there are more FreeBSD users. I don't know the answer to that either. I tend to think there are very few of either. -Brandon -- 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
