Subject: [PATCHv2] mingw_rmdir: do not prompt for retry when non-empty
Message-ID: <1355150547-8212-1-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1355150547-8212-1-git-send-email-kusmabite%40gmail.com

```
in ab1a11be ("mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate"),
a check was added to prevent us from retrying to delete a directory
that is both in use and non-empty.

However, this logic was slightly flawed; since we didn't return
immediately, we end up falling out of the retry-loop, but right into
the prompting-loop.

Fix this by setting errno, and guarding the prompting-loop with an
errno-check.

Is this meant for me, or is it to be applied to msysgit and later
somehow fed to me in different form?

I can s/_wrmdir/rmdir/;s/wpathname/pathname/ if that is what you
want me to do, but otherwise this patch does not apply.

Ugh, you are right. I intended for you to apply it, but I didn't
realize that my patch was based on the msysGit-master, where Karsten's
UTF-8 patches has been applied.

I'm not entirely sure what the best approach would be. The issue is
present in both branches, but we only build installers from the
msysGit-branch. But I think there are other people who builds Git from
the upstream source code, so it would be slightly less annoying for
them if the patch was fixed up and applied. But on the other hand,
that causes some annoyance when (if?) Karsten's UTF-8 patches gets
upstreamed.

Thoughts?

My preference would be to fix it in both branches. I will fix the merge
conflicts when rebasing onto Junio's master branch next time.

Ciao,

OK, then I'll queue the following to my tree.

Thanks for a quick turnaround.
