I think this is *THE* cause of my problems.
My question is how do I turn this of 100% totally - and completely?
How it is effecting me:
In my case, I *OFTEN* edit source code using ‘emacs-w32’ under cygwin.
and often refer to files via a filename like this /cygdrive/c/some/path/foo.c
Sadly what happens in the end is, the ACL gets set to the point where I cannot
edit source files.
Another common example is this:
Step 1: On Linux - create a “tar.gz” of a source directory.
tar cfz foo.tar.gz somedirectory
(In my case, it is an open source package that *must* build under both cygwin
and linux)
I need to move the code back and forth - to make sure my changes don’t break
things
Step 2: Pull that tar file over to Cygwin (I use cygwin64)
Step 3: Unpack the tar.gz file using CYGWIN
tar xfz foo.bar.tz
Step 4:
I specifically use “emacs-w32” - to edit the source code.
It seems that *randomly* the ACL gets totally bunkered
Maybe there is a method to this madness, but I can’t figure out the
exact sequence
I am *NOT* building or doing this under any Cygwin mount
I should not need to, and I should not be required to
I specifically use: /cygdrive/c/some/path/
**NOTE**
This does not *require* the ‘tar-copy’ method
Using CYGWIN - I “git clone” some repository and edit the files in the
standard way
It seems to be more predominant when I copy via TAR across systems.
Result:
I can no longer edit my source code.
I would end up having to “right click” permissions and fix things using
windows tools
It seems the ACLs are totally messed up
Bottom line, my expected behavior
I should be able to use a simple editor - i.e.: Emacs-w32
I should be able to edit a source code file
When I save the source code file - the permissions *before* and *after*
should be identical
They are not, permissions are totally messed up.
What ever I am seeing, it is fundamentally broken.
