I have a problem with git, which only seems to occur with the mesa repository
(which is very large, which may be something to do with the problem). I am
able to work with all the other X.Org repositories without problems.
Here's a short script which demonstrates the problem for me:
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
# repository is large, this may take some time
cd mesa
git checkout -f -b local 811aa02c7a0f4804189a8978395f07d27fb726ec
touch blah
git add blah
git commit -m "blah"
git checkout -f master
fails with
2 [main] git 3624 C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe: *** fatal error - could not load
shell32, Win32 error 487
Hangup
# to repeat the failure
rm .git/index.lock
git checkout -f master
I had a brief look at the relevant part of the cygwin source but I'm baffled
as to how this could be happening. Suggestions on how to debug this and/or
confirmations that it can reproduced appreciated.
I've tried this with 1.7.0-61 and with the 2009-09-20 snapshot
(I can't start anything with the 2009-09-24 snapshot, all processes exit with
"The application failed to initialize properl (0xc0000022)")
