The SHA1 hashes are generated in the close_file() function in git-svn.perl by forking git-hash-object -w --stdin and redirecting STDIN to the passed filehandle. This is what goes wrong (for some perl-internal reason?) on Mac OS X. Here is a patch that works around that by putting the data to be hashed in a temporary file and calling git-hash-object with a filename. Best regards, Alex >From 504892b882d05bdf1fbf2325e7544f52115555d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Klink <ak-git@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 14:46:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Workaround for git-svn symlink problem on Mac OS X git-svn had a problem with creating a symlink for a file which existed as a "real" file beforehand. See the report from Seth Falcon: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/44445 and the test patch by Eric Wong: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/44469 Apparently, the reason for this is that in this case, perl on Mac OS X does not like the STDIN redirect in close_file() (which forks to git-hash-object -w --stdin to create the SHA1 hash). The workaround now creates a temporary file for the git-hash-object input using File::Temp, calls git-hash-object -w with the filename and safely unlinks the file afterwards. --- git-svn.perl | 18 +++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-svn.perl b/git-svn.perl index 077d6b3..7af45aa 100755 --- a/git-svn.perl +++ b/git-svn.perl @@ -2266,6 +2266,7 @@ use warnings; use Carp qw/croak/; use IO::File qw//; use Digest::MD5; +use File::Temp; # file baton members: path, mode_a, mode_b, pool, fh, blob, base sub new { @@ -2448,13 +2449,16 @@ sub close_file { $buf eq 'link ' or die "$path has mode 120000", "but is not a link\n"; } - defined(my $pid = open my $out,'-|') or die "Can't fork: $!\n"; - if (!$pid) { - open STDIN, '<&', $fh or croak $!; - exec qw/git-hash-object -w --stdin/ or croak $!; - } - chomp($hash = do { local $/; <$out> }); - close $out or croak $!; + + # put the data for git-hash-object in a temporary file, + # as redirecting STDIN does not always work for some reason on + # Mac OS X + my ($temp_fh, $temp_filename) = mkstemp("git-hash-input-XXXXXX"); + print $temp_fh do { local $/; <$fh> }; + + chomp($hash = qx(git-hash-object -w $temp_filename)); + File::Temp::unlink0($temp_fh, $temp_filename) + or die "Error unlinking temporary file $temp_filename"; close $fh or croak $!; $hash =~ /^[a-f\d]{40}$/ or die "not a sha1: $hash\n"; close $fb->{base} or croak $!; -- 1.5.2.rc0.34.gda94-dirty - 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
