Re: [git-users] Git Replacing Directory Delimiter (Forward Slash) With Colon

2015-06-19 Thread Steve Penza
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Konstantin ;)

When exploring the repository, the colons are present in the filenames. I'd 
guess SourceTree is the GIT client on iOS that initially created the 
repository. I assume removing and replacing the files perhaps from a 
different client will solve the issue. In the meantime, I'm currently 
accessing the repository using Cygwin without any issues.

 I'm sceptical about this approach: viewing the repository from iOS 
 might mean too much things to reason about.  Have you managed to clone 
 the repository somehow to iOS?  If yes, what tool did that (AFAIK, Git 
 does not run natively on iOS)? 

 Hence I'd start with exploring the repository innards to really see what 
 pathnames those files have.  You do this by starting with a particular 
 commit and exploring it with `git ls-tree` and `git cat-file` -- going 
 through three objects until you find that one which contains the file 
 of interest and actually records its name.

[git-users] Git Replacing Directory Delimiter (Forward Slash) With Colon

2015-06-15 Thread Steve Penza


When using Windows to clone a GIT repository, several files in one 
directory are listed with a colon in the file name instead of the directory 
delimiter: a forward slash. The files cannot be created in Windows and they 
are automatically staged to be deleted.

Thanks in advance for any advice to resolve this issue.
