It looks like symlink support is broken in cvsserver, it is something we did not even consider, so I am trying to visualise _how_ broken it is, and what it would take to - refuse to handle symlinks (temporarily, until we can guarantee our handling is sane) - translate symlinks that are internal - hard, and probably not even a good idea - handle symlinks directly - is the client safe from malicious symlinks? I have never used symlinks with either git or cvs, so I am unsure as to whether their handling is compatible. Do either of them perform any sanity checks on the targetof the symlink? cheers, m -- 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
