I was thinking a gitconfig (e.g. jcore.usensec) to enable the tv_nsec usage (ok, well milliseconds only) in that repository, or globally (if in ~/.gitconfig). I also thought about looking at the index records to see if the tv_nsec fields were always 0. If all of them were 0 it would be a good indication that the filesystem doesn't support that level of granularity, or that whoever last wrote this index doesn't support that level of granularity. But this is a very expensive operation to perform, relatively speaking. > I hope that soon, we no longer need to > share the same index between C Git and JGit (I hope for a delta > pack implementation in Java...) I fail to see what the DIRC (.git/index) file format and its cache of tv_sec/tv_nsec has to do with delta pack implementation in Java. Or are you saying that you could stop using C Git in certain cases if you had delta pack generation in Java? Really I'd just like to scrap the entire DIRC file format and do it over again. Having the flat namespace is nuts. Linus and I really disagree here, and since I have never produced code for C Git to replace it (and prove why its better) I think he has me in his kill file now. :) -- Shawn. -- 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
