For a pure-index application, it should work anywhere, but I have a feeling that this "git apply patch" may try to write the symlink to the filesystem, fail, and report failure for the wrong reason. I don't have a SYMLINK-challenged filesystem to test on, though. -Peff -- 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
