From: Stephen Cuppett Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 01:35:36 GMT Subject: [RFC] Change handling of RelNotes Message-ID: <316a20a40708301835hc4236d4tdb289b6f705ab86@mail.gmail.com> I went to clone git onto a memory stick today. The default fs on the sticks doesn't support symlinks. After looking a little bit, the only symlink I can see in the source tree is RelNotes. It appears when going to a new release the file gets created in /Documentation and the symlink updated. I propose we eliminate this symlink. There are multiple other things we can do to eliminate it and make the repository more flexible across filesystems: * Always have current release in /Documentation/RelNotes and keep the prior versions named the way they are maintained now. When starting a new release, rename the file and create it again. * Keep the current in RelNotes and leave the archived ones in /Documentation. Doing same content move and clear operation when starting a new release. * Keep two copies RelNotes and /Documentation/RelNotes-X.X.X that essentially have same content and RelNotes has a lot of churn * others...? With this one abnormality the git repo on a normal flash drive doesn't work... at least in my case.
