Subject: git clone questions relating to cpio
Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 20:28:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3f4fd2640710011228w61ce34b5ve47ea529eed384fd@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am running a Linux From Scratch 6.2 system that does not have cpio
installed on it. This means that I can't clone a local repository
unless I install cpio. Is it possible to use a fallback method if cpio
is not present, as there is no NO_CPIO option on make like there is
for OpenSSH, cURL and expat?
Also, I have an external USB hardrive that is mounted onto the virtual
filesystem. Will clones from the USB harddrive (or a USB flash drive
that is mounted) result in a copy being performed, not a hardlink?
Ideally, the hard linking for local clones should be optional. What if
I want to move a repository because, for example, I have imported a
CVS repository and now want to push it to a new bare repository?
