Re: Crash when clone includes magic filenames on Windows
From: "Philip Oakley"From: "Jeffrey Walton" Hi Everyone, I'm seeing this issue on Windows: https://pastebin.com/YfB25E4T . It seems the filename AUX is the culprit. Also see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031022-00/?p=42073 . (Thanks to Milleneumbug on Stack Overflow). I did not name the file, someone else did. I doubt the filename will be changed. Searching is not turning up much information: https://www.google.com/search?q=git+"magic+filenames"+windows Does anyone know how to sidestep the issue on Windows? Jeff This comes up on the Git-for-Windows (GfW) issues fairly often https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues. The fetch part of the clone is sucessful, but the final checkout step fails when the AUX (or any other prohibited filename - that's proper cabkward compatibility for you) is to be checked out then the file system (FS) refuses and the checkout 'fails. You do however have the full repo locally. The trick is probably then to set up a sparse checkout so the AUX is never included on the FS. However it is an open 'up-for-grabs' project to add such a check in GfW. Philip One option maybe to extend the $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout capability and add a specific $GIT_DIR/info/never-sparse-checkout file that could carry the complement (files & dirs) options that are platform applicable (no AUX, no COM1, no colons, etc.;-), so that it does not conflict with the users' regular sparse checkout selection in $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout. It's probably easier to understand that way. -- Philip
