I'm using a custom set of scripts to transfer commits from one repository to another. The scripts parse the output of `fossil whatis' to grab the check-in comments and time stamps, extract the files with `fossil zip', and re-commit everything to the target repository.
Recently, after updating the 7-Zip command line tool to the latest version, I noted that the scripts were no longer handling empty files contained in the fossil-generated zip archives properly (they showed up as empty directories, instead of empty files). 7-Zip lists "D...." as the attributes for empty files in the fossil-generated zips, and `zipinfo' on my FreeBSD web server lists "drwxr-xr-x". In the following code section, fossil seems to set 040755 = "drwxr-xr-x" for empty files [line 156], but I think it should set 0100644 = "-rw-r--r--" instead, as for the default case [line 152] (0100000 = regular file, 0040000 = directory): http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/artifact/211de642fc72c1e93f9083f3affc85f3c8febe30?txt=1&ln=147-157 Being a Windows guy, I take the risk to completely make a fool of myself, but if the *nix people also think this should be changed, would you please consider fixing this?
