From: Sergey Vlasov Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 12:28:33 GMT Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Fix "git-local-fetch -s" with packed source repository Message-ID: <20050923122833.49AD2E010FC@center4.mivlgu.local> In-Reply-To: <20050923122754.GB2197@master.mivlgu.local> "git-local-fetch -s" did not work with a packed repository, because symlink() happily created a link to a non-existing object file, therefore fetch_file() always returned success, and fetch_pack() was not called. Fixed by calling stat() before symlink() to ensure the file really exists.
