[PATCH] update-cache.c ignore directories

["atani" <atani@atani-software.net>]

--- sorry if this dupes, mail client issues... 
 
In my tests of using git (both Linus and pasky versions) I had a 
problem with  
doing "gitadd.sh *" where * expands to include directories.  This 
simple  
patch allows update-cache.c to more gracefully handle a directory 
being  
passed into the add_file_to_cache method.  Without this patch 
update-cache  
exits prematurely with an error similar to: 
------------- 
fatal: Unable to add plx to database 
------------- 
 
Now it spits out: 
------------- 
'plx' is a directory, ignoring 
------------- 
 
Which from an end user stand point is better. 
 
BTW, so far my tests of using git are positive for my small Dreamcast 
software  
projects...  I was previously using subversion but find it to be a bit 
of  
overkill for these small projects. 
 
Martin Schlemmer,  I ran "emerge sync" today and found git has been 
added to  
portage, version 0.5.  Also note that there are now two "git" entries 
within  
portage app-misc/git and dev-util/git.  app-misc/git is GNU 
Interactive Tools
