Hi,
"git clone" is using hardlinks by default, even when cloning from a
different user. In such a case the clone ends up with a number of files
owned by someone else.
Since only immutable objects are cloned this seems to work fine. However
I would like to know if this "multiple users" case works by chance or by
specification.
In other words, is there a guarantee that no later version of git or no
obscure option I haven't used yet will ever try to touch a hardlink in
any way like for instance: trying update some metadata timestamp or,
overwrite it with the same value by lack of optimization, or any other
kind of side-effect that would obviously fail.
Thanks in advance!
Marc
