Subject: git-reset HEAD --permissions-only
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:29:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <illts0$c6q$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
Is there a way to only reset the file permissions of the working-tree to
match HEAD file permissions without resetting the content of the files?
HEAD file permissions = the permissions of the objects in the object store.
I'm using the vendor branch method of the git-rm manpage (git ls-files -z |
xargs -0 rm -f && tar xzf vendor-version.tar.gz && git add -A) and I want to
discard the vendor's file permissions changes to existing files and reset
them back to what they are in HEAD.
"existing files" = ALL files that already existed in the HEAD and are not
"deleted" or "new" in the working-tree relative to the HEAD.
HEAD = before "rm"
Working-Tree = after the untar.
v/r,
Neal
