[PATCH] dim: symbolic link for the rr-cache

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

 



After about a month and a few attempts it's clear that my rr-cache gc
logic is busted. When copying stuff back&forth between the git branch
and git's rr-cache dir, something somewhere (or maybe it's git rerere
itself) touches all files and wreaks the timestamps.

End result is that over this month, every time when someone gc'ed a
few files, they've been resurrected a few days later by someone else.

I think the only way to fix this is by dropping the copying and
replacing git's rr-cache with a symbolic link. That way, when we
delete an rr-cache entry in the git branch, it won't be able to
resurrect. I hope at least ...

This also makes dim revert-rerere no longer needed, delete it.

v2: Unfunny the ln option placement (Jani).

 ADVANCED COMMANDS FOR COMMITTERS AND MAINTAINERS
 ================================================
 
-revert-rerere *rerere-cache-commit-ish*
----------------------------------------
-When a stored conflict resolution in the integration tree is wrong, this command
-can be used to fix up the mess. First figure out which commit in the
-*rerere-cache* branch contains the bogus conflict resolution, then revert it
-using this command. This ensures the resolution is also purged from any local
-caches, to make sure it doesn't get resurrected. Then run *rebuild-tip* to redo
-the merges, correctly.
-
 cat-to-fixup
 ------------
 Pipes stdin into the fixup patch file for the current drm-tip merge.
