Dear All,
There is an an issue that plagues me when using git in Cygwin.
I have two developer machines, one with Linux, and one with Windows. On
the Windows machine, when I clone sources with git, everything works well.
However, when I then use rsync to copy changes from the Linux machine to
Windows, the file permissions change on all files! In turn, git complains
about a new executable permission. And chmod fails to restore the previous
state.
Sound like it is adding default Windows permissions with +x!
Currently, the only way I found to restore a useful state, is to remove
the whole directory, and clone again from git!
Here are the details:
I'm using rsync options --verbose --recursive --delete which in my eyes
should not modify permissions. I clone with rsync over the already existing,
unchanged files from git, so there should be anyways no need for rsync to
re-transfer or modify the files.
Why clone a git repo with rsync when you can just use git from Linux to Windows?
The directory in question is a subfolder on the C: drive, which is an
NTFS-formatted NVMe. I created the parent folder as a normal user, and did
not apply any special permissions. In fstab, I leave default Cygwin options.
Created parent and subfolder as a normal Windows or Cygwin user?
rsync is version 3.3.0, Cygwin is version 3.5.5-1.
Are you sure you are running
From acl checks, it seems that rsync would modify only one of the ACLs.
The second ACL before is "COMPANY\User:(R,W,D,WDAC,WO)", and after running
rsync is "COMPANY\User:(F)". I'm not sure what this means, but even less
I understand why rsync performs this change?
where is located this directory ?
Also what are the parent and subfolder directory paths and ACLs, particularly
DACLs, from getfacl and icacls?
Can you provide the cygcheck.out as attachement ?
see https://cygwin.com/problems.html
I have had some success fixing Cygwin ACLs messed up by Windows programs using
setfacl -b on directories and files, but I sometimes have to fix up directory
DACLs using setfacl, then fix up the file ACLs, then permissions.
