Subject: integrity of linux copy of a git repo
Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2010 14:47:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <i85dub$fp5$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
If I make a recursive linux copy, "cp -rfp", of a git repo working tree is
the resulting copy interchangeable with the original?
e.g.
/orig-wk-tree was created via git-clone with the file:/// url and therefore
is a "full copy"
cp -rfp /orig-wk-tree /orig-wk-tree-copy
(do some stuff that breaks /orig-wk-tree)
rm -rf /orig-wk-tree
mv /orig-wk-tree-copy /orig-wk-tree
Have I truly recovered the full integrity of the original, or have I
unwittingly introduced some sort of corruption?
v/r,
Neal
