After adding 3 entries to .gitignore to suppress some build output files from showing up in 'git status', I'm now at the point where 'git status' after a build shows only this:
gosmith@GOSMITH-WIN7 /cygdrive/d/asf/flex-sdk $ git status # On branch develop # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: frameworks/flex-config.xml # modified: modules/asc/src/java/macromedia/asc/util/Version.java # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") Git is detecting that the SDK's Ant build scripts change the file mode of flex-config.xml (which gets diddled with an Ant <copy>) and Version.java (diddled with an Ant <replace>). These tasks seem to have the side effect of doing chmod +x for some reason. I've tried using <chmod file="..." perm="-x"> to fix this, but it doesn't seem to work. Both of these issues are probably some unfortunate interaction between Ant and Cygwin, but googling does't confirm this.(It does confirm that the people who wrote Ant don't think much of Cygwin. If anybody has an idea of how to fix this, so that we get clean 'git status' output after a build -- other than configurating Git to ignore file modes -- let me know. I suppose one solution is to just use Command Prompt instead of Cygwin, but then I have to give up other stuff. And another is to use a Mac, which is what most people seem to be doing these days. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 8:46 PM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: How to get a clean working tree for flex-sdk Awesome!
