I just tried this and get the error "fatal: Empty path component found in input", which seems to be from commit 178e1de (fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty components, 2012-03-09), which is included in Git 1.7.9.5. It seems to be slightly more complicated than that though, because after allowing empty trees I get the "missing" message for the root tree. This seems to be because its mode is 0 and not S_IFDIR. With the patch below, things are working as I expect but I don't understand why the mode of the root is not set correctly at this point. Perhaps someone more familiar with fast-import will have some insight... -- >8 -- diff --git a/fast-import.c b/fast-import.c index 23f625f..bcce651 100644 --- a/fast-import.c +++ b/fast-import.c @@ -1626,6 +1626,15 @@ del_entry: return 1; } +static void copy_tree_entry(struct tree_entry *dst, struct tree_entry *src) +{ + memcpy(dst, src, sizeof(*dst)); + if (src->tree && is_null_sha1(src->versions[1].sha1)) + dst->tree = dup_tree_content(src->tree); + else + dst->tree = NULL; +} + static int tree_content_get( struct tree_entry *root, const char *p, @@ -1651,11 +1660,7 @@ static int tree_content_get( e = t->entries[i]; if (e->name->str_len == n && !strncmp_icase(p, e->name->str_dat, n)) { if (!slash1) { - memcpy(leaf, e, sizeof(*leaf)); - if (e->tree && is_null_sha1(e->versions[1].sha1)) - leaf->tree = dup_tree_content(e->tree); - else - leaf->tree = NULL; + copy_tree_entry(leaf, e); return 1; } if (!S_ISDIR(e->versions[1].mode)) @@ -3065,7 +3070,11 @@ static void parse_ls(struct branch *b) die("Garbage after path in: %s", command_buf.buf); p = uq.buf; } - tree_content_get(root, p, &leaf); + if (!*p) { + copy_tree_entry(&leaf, root); + leaf.versions[1].mode = S_IFDIR; + } else + tree_content_get(root, p, &leaf); /* * A directory in preparation would have a sha1 of zero * until it is saved.
