Indeed. I started to give some of the history in the commit message, but it was nearly 3am, so I punted with the 'see also commits 6fd1106aa4 and c51c0da222' ... ;-) > t7400.20 does not fail for the MinGW port because the > test case only operates on the file system, but never > checks whether an entry 'sub\with\backslash' is present > in the index. Ah, OK. I only looked at my (64-bit) MSYS2 build, which fails exactly the same as cygwin. Hmm, wait, let me just rebuild on MinGW64 ... indeed it passes (well it passes t7400.20, but it fails on t7400.11, 61, 63, 87 and 89)! > >>> @@ -273,7 +273,7 @@ test_expect_success 'submodule add with ./, /.. and // in path' ' >>> test_cmp empty untracked >>> ' >>> >>> -test_expect_success 'submodule add with \\ in path' ' >>> +test_expect_success BSLASHPSPEC 'submodule add with \\ in path' ' >>> test_when_finished "rm -rf parent sub\\with\\backslash" && >>> >>> # Initialize a repo with a backslash in its name >> > > I assume the test fails right at 'git init' under Cygwin? Indeed. Also on MSYS2 (exactly as on cygwin): ramsay@satellite MSYS $ ./t7400-submodule-basic.sh -i -v ... ok 19 - submodule add with ./, /.. and // in path expecting success: test_when_finished "rm -rf parent sub\\with\\backslash" && # Initialize a repo with a backslash in its name git init sub\\with\\backslash && touch sub\\with\\backslash/empty.file && git -C sub\\with\\backslash add empty.file && git -C sub\\with\\backslash commit -m "Added empty.file" && # Add that repository as a submodule git init parent && git -C parent submodule add ../sub\\with\\backslash fatal: cannot mkdir sub\with\backslash: No such file or directory not ok 20 - submodule add with \\ in path # # test_when_finished "rm -rf parent sub\\with\\backslash" && # # # Initialize a repo with a backslash in its name # git init sub\\with\\backslash && # touch sub\\with\\backslash/empty.file && # git -C sub\\with\\backslash add empty.file && # git -C sub\\with\\backslash commit -m "Added empty.file" && # # # Add that repository as a submodule # git init parent && # git -C parent submodule add ../sub\\with\\backslash # ramsay@satellite MSYS $ ramsay@satellite MSYS $ cd trash\ directory.t7400-submodule-basic/ ramsay@satellite MSYS $ ls a addtest/ empty expect-head head head-sha1 untracked actual addtest-ignore/ expect expect-heads heads t z ramsay@satellite MSYS $ git init sub\\with\\backslash fatal: cannot mkdir sub\with\backslash: No such file or directory ramsay@satellite MSYS $ mkdir -p sub\\with ramsay@satellite MSYS $ git init sub\\with\\backslash Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ramsay/git/t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/sub/with/backslash/.git/ ramsay@satellite MSYS $ touch sub\\with\\backslash/empty.file ramsay@satellite MSYS $ git -C sub\\with\\backslash add empty.file ramsay@satellite MSYS $ git -C sub\\with\\backslash commit -m "Added empty.file" [master (root-commit) 6fde90b] Added empty.file 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 empty.file ramsay@satellite MSYS $ git init parent Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ramsay/git/t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/parent/.git/ ramsay@satellite MSYS $ git -C parent submodule add ../sub\\with\\backslash Cloning into '/home/ramsay/git/t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/parent/sub/with/backslash'... done. fatal: Not a git repository: /home/ramsay/git/t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/parent/sub\with\backslash/../.git/modules/sub/with/backslash ramsay@satellite MSYS $ echo $? 128 ramsay@satellite MSYS $ Do you not see this on msys? > > BSLASHPSPEC (with its *new* meaning) would be the > right prerequisite if the check for the index entry > were added. Until then, !CYGWIN is more appropriate. OK, I'll re-roll the patch (tomorrow, it's late again). Thanks. ATB, Ramsay Jones
