Hello,

I have repo in unix. The same repo is cloned onto windows.I have set "core.autocrlf=input" in both the repos.

When I do some change to a file in windows and push to unix repo, I get file deleted If I do "git status"?

What is the setting to be done if I want an repo to be access/push/pulled across windows and unix?

It sounds like you are pushing to the currently-checked-out branch of a non-bare repo.

If this is true, you should do one of the following:

- have a central "bare" repo (created with git init --bare) and
push/pull from that rather than directly

- pull, rather than push, when transferring data between repos.

You can pull from a Windows box by running git-daemon on that box from the command line. (It's easier than it sounds.)

Have fun,

Avery

That presumes you're running Cygwin ...

git-daemon doesn't (currently) work on msysgit. Currently I run git-daemon on my linpus netbook and pull/push from windows.

Cheers, Wol

I didn't know that. Windows sockets are mercifully very nearly compatible with Linux ones, so hopefully this wouldn't be too hard to fix for someone that needs it. (Not me; I prefer cygwin over msys in all cases.)

git-daemon relies on fork, do work, then later exec. Windows lacks this concept. Making it hard to port.

Before anyone starts hacking: I've got a working git-daemon on Windows, based on some old patches from Mike Pape, plus some extending of the start_async-api. It's still not ready for submission, but I think I've got the last important technical details nailed down now, all that is needed is a fair share of clean-up. Hopefully I'll have it ready for submission during the week-end some time.

msysgit, test:

 core.autocrlf=false
