Switching to the 1.5.6 release from 1.5.5.1, I found out that the rewritten git-clone command changed its behaviour wrt cloning to a non-existing destination directory structure. In the shell version the destination (work tree) is created with 'mkdir -p' but in the C version with just the mkdir() call which doesn't create the parent directories. I can't find any indication that this would be intended in the repo history nor in the mailing list, so I'm left thinking that this is an unwanted regression. Could someone confirm this? -- Kalle Vahlman, zuh@iki.fi Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi
