Subject: cg-commit path handling problem
Date: Thu, 4 May 2006 17:12:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <p04320440c07fca04afea@[192.168.40.11]> (raw)
Hello
I did create a repository from a directory containing, amongst other
stuff, files starting with a $ sign. E.g.
$ find
./foo
./bar
./var/cache
./var/cache/$foo
./var/cache/$foo::bar
./var/cache/$baz
$ cg-init
...
Now I realized that I didn't want the var directory in the repository and did
$ cg-rm -r var
$ cg-commit var
which worked without warning, but:
$ cg-status
..
D var/cache/$foo
D var/cache/$foo::bar
D var/cache/$baz
So I try again:
$ cg-commit var
will open the editor with the $.. files in the CG: part, I enter a
commit message, exit the editor, it sayys "Refusing to make an empty
commit".
$ cg-commit -f var
says "committed as ....", but cg-status will still show the same files as D
As per suggestion from #git, I did the equivalent of
find var -name '$*' |xargs git commit -m please_go_away --
which worked.
So I guess that the cg-commit shell script isn't protecting file
paths against variable substitution somewhere.
This is cogito-0.17.2 and git 1.2.6 (from Debian unstable rebuilt on Sarge).
Thanks for caring,
Christian.
