I'm not sure, but I think the original call for help may have been "I will give you shell access to these boxes if you want to play around". > > t/t7001-mv.t > > ------------ > > cp uses -P flag, which is unknown to HP's (non-GNU) version of cp > > > > Changing the two occurrences from > > > > cp -R -P -p ../.git/modules/sub .git && > > to > > rsync -aHl ../.git/modules/sub/ .git/ && > > > > make the tests pass (on those systems that have a working rsync) > > "rsync -r -l -o -p -t" would be the proper equivalent. -aH does more for > my rsync.
