[Monotone-devel] [bug #9231] Monotone does not handle symlinks
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #9231 (project monotone): I'm not clear what the original problem is. Win32 certainly does not support symlinks; trying to add mtn code to fake that is not a good idea. Cygwin does support symlinks; use that instead. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?9231 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #9231 (project monotone): The problem is that symlinks are simply lost, while they should get a special file attribute which stores the original symlink and creates that instead on update / checkout / revert on supported platforms: $ mtn setup . $ touch foo $ ln -s foo bar $ mtn add bar $ mtn ci -m test $ file -h bar bar: symbolic link to foo $ rm bar $ mtn revert --missing $ file -h bar bar: UTF-8 Unicode text ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?9231 ___ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #9231 (project monotone): Just to clarify; this is talking about symlinks within the workspace, not symlinks to files outside the workspace. It would be useful for mtn to preserve in-workspace symlinks. For example, /etc often has them. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?9231 ___ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
