(I posted this initially to the "symlinks appear as regular files" thread, reposting as new thread).
Someone reported to me that there are problems when a symlink is replaced with a directory or vice versa. Here is the script that he generated to illustrate the issue: ## Create repo and initial population fossil init bare.repo mkdir link_target_dir touch link_target_file mkdir work1 cd work1 fossil open ../bare.repo touch file mkdir dir1 touch dir1/file1 ln -s ../link_target_file . ln -s ../link_target_dir . fossil add * fossil commit -m "add initial files" . ## Clone repo cd .. mkdir work2 cd work2 fossil open ../bare.repo ## Change file types in repo cd ../work1 echo "Removing targets" fossil rm dir1 file link_target_dir link_target_file fossil commit -m "remove all" . chmod -R 700 dir1 file link_target_dir link_target_file rm -rf dir1 file link_target_dir link_target_file echo "Creating new targets swapping types" ln -s ../link_target_dir dir1 ln -s ../link_target_file file mkdir link_target_dir touch link_target_file touch link_target_dir/file2 echo "Adding to fossil" fossil add * echo "Commiting" fossil commit -m "switch all types" . ## Attempt pull in clone cd ../work2 ## At this command Fossil fails because it cannot swap the directory dir1 for the link that was created in it's place fossil update exit -- Matt -=- 90% of the nations wealth is held by 2% of the people. Bummer to be in the majority...
