--- sorry if this dupes, mail client issues...
In my tests of using git (both Linus and pasky versions) I had a
problem with
doing "gitadd.sh *" where * expands to include directories. This
simple
patch allows update-cache.c to more gracefully handle a directory
being
passed into the add_file_to_cache method. Without this patch
update-cache
exits prematurely with an error similar to:
-------------
fatal: Unable to add plx to database
-------------
Now it spits out:
-------------
'plx' is a directory, ignoring
-------------
Which from an end user stand point is better.
BTW, so far my tests of using git are positive for my small Dreamcast
software
projects... I was previously using subversion but find it to be a bit
of
overkill for these small projects.
Martin Schlemmer, I ran "emerge sync" today and found git has been
added to
portage, version 0.5. Also note that there are now two "git" entries
within
portage app-misc/git and dev-util/git. app-misc/git is GNU
Interactive Tools
