Subject: git-sh-setup.sh:cd_to_toplevel problematic with symlinks
Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2007 18:10:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070806161045.GA21815@moooo.ath.cx> (raw)
cd_to_toplevel takes the output of git rev-parse --show-cdup and feeds
it to cd. The problem is that cd uses PWD to do what the user means
when saying cd .., i.e. it goes to /foo when in /foo/bar even though
/foo/bar might be a symlink. Example:
(in an existing git repository)
/tmp/foo$ mkdir -p a/b
/tmp/foo$ ln -s a/b c
/tmp/foo$ cd c
/tmp/foo/c$ git fetch . master:master
git-fetch: line 108: /FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied
Is there any way to tell cd to ignore $PWD?
Another option is to have a new option to rev-parse which shows the
absolute path to tho toplevel.
