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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sebastian Schuberth <sschuberth@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- 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). sha1_file.c | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/sha1_file.c b/sha1_file.c index 8b0849f..6e8c05d 100644 --- a/sha1_file.c +++ b/sha1_file.c @@ -112,17 +112,21 @@ enum scld_error safe_create_leading_directories(char *path) while (ret == SCLD_OK && next_component) { struct stat st; - char *slash = strchr(next_component, '/'); + char *slash = next_component, slash_character; - if (!slash) + while (*slash && !is_dir_sep(*slash)) + slash++; + + if (!*slash) break; next_component = slash + 1; - while (*next_component == '/') + while (is_dir_sep(*next_component)) next_component++; if (!*next_component) break; + slash_character = *slash; *slash = '\0'; if (!stat(path, &st)) { /* path exists */ @@ -148,7 +152,7 @@ enum scld_error safe_create_leading_directories(char *path) } else if (adjust_shared_perm(path)) { ret = SCLD_PERMS; } - *slash = '/'; + *slash = slash_character; } return ret; } -- 1.8.5.2 -- 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
