[PATCH v2] safe_create_leading_directories(): on Windows, \ can separate path components

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When cloning to a directory "C:\foo\bar" from Windows' cmd.exe where
"foo" does not exist yet, Git would throw an error like

    fatal: could not create work tree dir 'c:\foo\bar'.: No such file or directory

Fix this by not hard-coding a platform specific directory separator
into safe_create_leading_directories().

This patch, including its entire commit message, is derived from a
patch by Sebastian Schuberth.

This patch applies on top of v3 of mh/safe-create-leading-directories.

The only logical change from Sebastian's patch is that this version
restores the original slash character rather than always restoring it
to '/' (as suggested by Junio).

Please note that I have merely adapted Sebastian's patch to apply on
top of my changes.  I do not have an opinion about whether slashes
should rather be normalized before they are passed to this function.
And I cannot test the patch under Windows (though it passes the test
suite under Linux).
