Cygwin doesn't have uid, gid and ino stats fields. Therefore we should never check them in the match_stat_data when working on the CYGWIN platform. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@xxxxxxxxx> --- This patch was not tested on Cygwin yet. I think it's needed though, because the re-reading of the index if it changed will no longer use it's own index_changed function, but use the stat_validity_check function instead. Would be great if someone running Cygwin could test this. read-cache.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/read-cache.c b/read-cache.c index 1f827de..aa17ce7 100644 --- a/read-cache.c +++ b/read-cache.c @@ -82,6 +82,7 @@ int match_stat_data(const struct stat_data *sd, struct stat *st) changed |= CTIME_CHANGED; #endif +#if !defined (__CYGWIN__) if (check_stat) { if (sd->sd_uid != (unsigned int) st->st_uid || sd->sd_gid != (unsigned int) st->st_gid) @@ -89,6 +90,7 @@ int match_stat_data(const struct stat_data *sd, struct stat *st) if (sd->sd_ino != (unsigned int) st->st_ino) changed |= INODE_CHANGED; } +#endif #ifdef USE_STDEV /* -- 1.8.3.4.1231.g9fbf354.dirty -- 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
