Subject: Understanding DIRC section of .git/index
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 21:37:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d6baf00c68fa166601c2beb74cd2040b@farhan.codes> (raw)
Hi all,
I am trying to understand how the DIRC section works, specifically the "index entry" section. Can someone point to where in the code index files are generated? I am having trouble locating the exact place.
The documentation (Documentation/technical/index-format.txt) suggests that the code does the equivalent of stat() a file, then write the data into the index file. Is this accurate? Is there any htonl() bit rearrangement? What about for the mode or flags?
Thanks,
---
