For reasons which would take a while to explain, I'm building a repository
in a directory using "--git-dir=xxxx/.git --work-tree=." and
then doing an "mv xxxx/.git ./.git" and then trying to work with
that repository --- but can't
Below is a sample script. The last line (git add) fails with
fatal: unable to create
'/usr/local/AusTop/AuPrograms/AuServer/testgit/aaa/bbb/.git/index.lock':
No such file or directory
git doesn't seem to realise that there is a .git back up the tree.
I'm using 1.5.5.1
Cheers,
Geoff Russell
------------------------ sample script
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d "testgit" ] ; then
echo "remove testgit"
/bin/rm -rf testgit
fi
mkdir testgit && echo yyyy >testgit/sample.sh && cd testgit
mkdir aaa && mkdir aaa/bbb
echo xxxx > aaa/bbb/sample2.sh
mkdir xxx
git --git-dir=xxx/.git --work-tree=. init
git --git-dir=xxx/.git --work-tree=. add *.sh
git --git-dir=xxx/.git --work-tree=. commit -m demo
mv xxx/.git .
cd aaa/bbb
git add sample2.sh
