#139: Existing symbolic links not deleted ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eric9 Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: GetComponents | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ I had a case where a git repository did not exist any more, but the symbolic links pointing into the git repository were still there. GetComponents then checked out the repository, and then got confused -- it created links inside the repository (which it is not supposed to modify!) pointing nowhere.
I think ln should be called as "ln -nsf", or the link (if it exists) should be deleted before the new link is created.
