I didn't say Solaris does not behave "correctly" - I just said it does
not behave as every
other POSIX/SUS Unix I know.

I know that its completely ok with SUS - and I did say that before.

Primarily I was just wondering about this behaviour and IMHO the git
developers were too.

Don't bother talking to Joerg.

He's a certified loon, and thinks Solaris is correct by definition. He's 
insane. He thinks that anybody who does anything different from Solaris is 
by definition not just wrong, but actively evil, even when the "anything 
different" is clearly superior (ie he thinks that Solaris device naming is 
not only sane, but claims that everybody else should do it that way).

If you ever wondered why "cdrecord" takes a default device argument of the 
forma "dev=0,1,0" or other random numbers, it's Joerg.

So just ignore him. I hope the OpenSolaris lists have saner people around.

Yes thats completely true, but it still leaves the point if you want
to manage some
of your config files with git.
