I'm having the problem cloning a git repository using Cygwin git 1.5.3.5: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Initialized empty Git repository in /git/git/.git/ remote: Generating pack... remote: Counting objects: 4991 Done counting 67423 objects. remote: Deltifying 67423 objects... remote: 100% (67423/67423) done Indexing 67423 objects... remote: Total 67423 (delta 47516), reused 66055 (delta 46502) 100% (67423/67423) done Resolving 47516 deltas... 100% (47516/47516) done fatal: failed to unpack tree object HEAD

In git, what is failing is the following fragment on sha1_file.c, link_temp_to_file(), around line 1968: if (!link(tmpfile, filename)) return 0; tmpfile: "/git/git/.git/objects/tmp_pack_H4xHmD" filename: "/git/git/.git/objects/pack/pack-139482038782b17f70018a3222052c02c7254a01.pack" errno upon return: EEXIST I don't think this part of sha1_file.c has changed in some time. Has Cygwin link() changed recently? FWIW, if I rewrite the above fragment as: if (!rename(tmpfile, filename)) return 0; I don't see the failure anymore. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
