And my command constructs the branch name in a certain way... Anyway, I don't see why it's wrong to have such a bin folder per repository... Let's for a moment assume that there is a use case for such a thing, I'm wondering what is wrong with this solution from a Git perspective??? Ciprian. P.S.: It seems that indeed setup_git_directory_gently (or something in the setup system) is kind of broken if I call it twice... So I'm trying to solve the problem from another angle... It seems that setup_paths is called only from git.c, builtin-receive-pack.c, upload-pack.c and shell.c... Thus I'll just work-around the problem by adding the bin path only when it is called from git.c (which it has worked for almost a year...) -- 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
