Common setting for interoperability repo across windows and unix?

Common setting for interoperability repo across windows and unix?

[Dilip M]

Hello,

I have repo in unix. The same repo is cloned onto windows.I have set
"core.autocrlf=input" in both the repos.

When I do some change to a file in windows and push to unix repo, I
get file deleted If I do "git status"?

What is the setting to be done if I want an repo to be
access/push/pulled across windows and unix?

It sounds like you are pushing to the currently-checked-out branch of
a non-bare repo.

If this is true, you should do one of the following:

- have a central "bare" repo (created with git init --bare) and
push/pull from that rather than directly

- pull, rather than push, when transferring data between repos.

You can pull from a Windows box by running git-daemon on that box from
the command line.  (It's easier than it sounds.)

Have fun,

Avery

msysgit, test:

 core.autocrlf=false

That presumes you're running Cygwin ...

git-daemon doesn't (currently) work on msysgit. Currently I run 
git-daemon on my linpus netbook and pull/push from windows.

I didn't know that.  Windows sockets are mercifully very nearly
compatible with Linux ones, so hopefully this wouldn't be too hard to
fix for someone that needs it.  (Not me; I prefer cygwin over msys in
all cases.)

git-daemon relies on fork, do work, then later exec.  Windows lacks
this concept.  Making it hard to port.

Before anyone starts hacking: I've got a working git-daemon on
Windows, based on some old patches from Mike Pape, plus some extending
of the start_async-api. It's still not ready for submission, but I
think I've got the last important technical details nailed down now,
all that is needed is a fair share of clean-up. Hopefully I'll have it
ready for submission during the week-end some time.
