There is ISDIRLNK entry at path/S and add_one_path() would allow removal of "path/S" to make room for path/S/Makefile, when --replace is given. - 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
