#1749: avoid creating temporary links to files in Formaline ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: review Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: Formaline ------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Comment (by rhaas):
Well this method may be slower since it two calls to git per file rather than one call to ln per file and one call to git for all files together at the end.
As for modes: apparently git ignores everything (see http://git- scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects and search for 120000) but "file/directory" and "executable/not-executable". I have however amended to branch to pass the full mode information.
