Subject: Git clone behaviour change in 1.5.6 (vs 1.5.5.1)
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:51:15 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <177e83dd0806231251u223717e4s2149f69313787ead@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

Switching to the 1.5.6 release from 1.5.5.1, I found out that the
rewritten git-clone command changed its behaviour wrt cloning to a
non-existing destination directory structure. In the shell version the
destination (work tree) is created with 'mkdir -p' but in the C
version with just the mkdir() call which doesn't create the parent
directories.

I can't find any indication that this would be intended in the repo
history nor in the mailing list, so I'm left thinking that this is an
unwanted regression. Could someone confirm this?
