problem with file mode

problem with file mode

[Andrew Romanenco]

Hello

I have problem with cloning git repo

Both stations are ubuntu 8.10
And I have repo with text files on station A
When I do git clone to station B all files become executable 755
And git status show that all files are modified, diff shows mode change

could you help me with this issue?

thanks
Andrew

What filesystem is station B running? Is it something that actually has
a proper executable bit (i.e., not FAT or similar)?

true - B is Fat

Then you probably want to:

  git config core.filemode false

on B. Though I thought we automagically tested whether the filesystem
supported executable bits when creating the repository. Did you create
the repository on a different filesystem and then move it to FAT, or did
you directly clone to FAT?

We do. Our test basically:

   lstat()
   chmod(st_mode ^ S_IXUSR)
   lstat()

but Linux (Andrew said he's on Ubuntu) keeps the mode bits that user-space
requested with chmod() in the cache long enough that the subsequent
lstat() call sees what it just requested. So, our test doesn't notice that
the x-bit is not written to the filesystem.
