Files with colons under Cygwin

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Cygwin does not allow files with colons, I think this is Windows stuff
one just can't avoid. If you have files with colons in a git
repository and try pulling them on cygwin, the file is empty, its name
is truncated and the status is wrong.

linux $ date > a:b
linux $ git init
linux $ git add a:b
linux $ git commit -m test
linux $ git push
cygwin $ git pull
cygwin $ ls
-rw-r--r-- 1 funchal funchal        0 Oct  2 15:15 a
cygwin $ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       a
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Any ideas on what should be done? (for instance, warn when pulling
this kind of files on Cygwin)

Has anyone noticed this before?

Regards,
