When generating build options for Cygwin, enable OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES. This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds.
Reported-by: Peter Rosin <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Adam Dinwoodie <[email protected]> --- This patch has previously been discussed on the mailing list (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/275485), back in August 2015. The conclusion then was that the downstream Cygwin builds should take this patch for a few Git releases, and then resubmit the patch to be taken upstream if it was causing no problems. As the Cygwin Git maintainer, I've been applying this patch downstream since v2.4.5-3 (where the "-3" is the Cygwin build/patch number), and I've seen no reports of problems caused by this patch, and the reports of Git on Cygwin being unable to work with Windows shared directories have stopped. As such, I'm resubmitting. config.mak.uname | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/config.mak.uname b/config.mak.uname index 943c439..be5cbec 100644 --- a/config.mak.uname +++ b/config.mak.uname @@ -187,6 +187,7 @@ ifeq ($(uname_O),Cygwin) X = .exe UNRELIABLE_FSTAT = UnfortunatelyYes SPARSE_FLAGS = -isystem /usr/include/w32api -Wno-one-bit-signed-bitfield + OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES = UnfortunatelyNeedsTo endif ifeq ($(uname_S),FreeBSD) NEEDS_LIBICONV = YesPlease -- 2.4.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
