I'm not sure the existing socket location matters, in the way that it does for config. The socket is inherently ephemeral, and designed to go away after a few minutes (and the program designed to run sanely when it does not exist). So yes, when you switch from older git to newer git, you might technically have a cache-daemon running that you _could_ contact, but don't find it. But I don't think it's a big deal in practice, and not worth designing around. So I think it would be OK to just switch the default path to wherever XDG recommends ephemeral stuff to go (which sounds like $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) and be done. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
