I'm (again) trying to port git-1.5.4 to HP-UX, and I've already got rather far, but I'm hitting some stuff I cannot explain. t5405-send-pack-rewind.sh fails the 'git fetch .. master:master' part in the setup, as deep down, read_branches_file () is called with in remote the name "..". The file that it tries to open using git_path () is ".git/branches/.." That is weird. That is not a file, but a dir. "../.git/branches" would be more logical, but whatever. HP-UX 11.00 will gladly return a valid FILE * for opening a directory with fopen (), which, when read, will return anything but what is expected. So, maybe read_branches_file () should be protected against opening anything but files. Maybe with some stat () and S_ISREG ()'s. Or has something gone wrong earlier on? In my case, the returned url is 'l', which cannot be opened: fatal: 'l': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly which is cast from upload-pack.c:main () -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers (http://amsterdam.pm.org/) using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, & 11.23, SuSE 10.1 & 10.2, AIX 5.2, and Cygwin. http://qa.perl.org http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ - 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
