Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/34288 ## Torsten Bögershausen, 2013-06-27 16:00 Subject: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm Message-ID: <51CC6189.6030701@web.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/51CC6189.6030701%40web.de ``` I just discovered a major problem for Mac OS and Windows people: In contrib/mw-to-git/ there is a file called "git". And there is a directory called "Git". This does not work very well on case insensitive file systems. When the file "git" is created, we can not create a directory called "Git", as "Git" is mapped to "git". And vice versa. Can we try to rename one of them ? The other interesting thing is that git 1.8.3 didn't like the situation: After checking out the pu branch, git status says: deleted: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm So I could not change to another branch/commit... git stash didn't resolve the situation either. The following saved my repo: git mv contrib/mw-to-git/git contrib/mw-to-git/git.exe git checkout contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm git checkout -b xxx_git_Git_conflict git commit -a -m xxx_git_Git_conflict /Torsten ``` ## Benoît Person, 2013-06-27 16:25 Subject: Re: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAETqRCgctnVqrYaAYn7uZtv0rvQNawUAi513iTeWPufkZPRgAw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <51CC6189.6030701@web.de> ``` Oops, so sorry :/ It's defintely doable since the lowercase 'git' is only a bin-wrapper for git to ease development in contrib/mw-to-git/ .

I'd call it bin-wrapper/git, so that people can put bin-wrapper/ in their $PATH if needed, and by analogy with ../../bin-wrapper. If you go this way, don't forget to update the $0 relative paths. git-dev is OK with me too. > (some comments directly mentionning the 'git' (lowercase) file needs > to be updated as well in the Makefile) Yes. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2013-06-27 17:28 Subject: Re: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm Message-ID: <7v4ncjtqdi.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v4ncjtqdi.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: ``` Benoît Person writes: > Oops, so sorry :/ > > It's defintely doable since the lowercase 'git' is only a bin-wrapper > for git to ease development in contrib/mw-to-git/ . Hmph. Does it even need to be in-tree then? Is it insufficient to run ../../git from that directory instead? > Junio, Matthieu : should I resend a new version of my serie which > renames the 'git' (lowercase) file into something like 'git-dev' ? > (some comments directly mentionning the 'git' (lowercase) file needs > to be updated as well in the Makefile) > > Benoit ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2013-06-27 17:29 Subject: Re: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm Message-ID: <7vzjubsbqj.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vzjubsbqj.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: ``` Matthieu Moy writes: > Benoît Person writes: > >> Junio, Matthieu : should I resend a new version of my serie which >> renames the 'git' (lowercase) file into something like 'git-dev' ? > > I'd call it bin-wrapper/git, so that people can put bin-wrapper/ in > their $PATH if needed, and by analogy with ../../bin-wrapper.

I just noticed that the script is not strictly a text file, ending with an incomplete line, by the way. ``` ## Benoît Person, 2013-06-27 17:54 Subject: Re: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAETqRCif7K3MZiG4oMfnM-jps%2BKajDMYML4C5Hhy8eE7bj38xA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7vzjubsbqj.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` > Hmph.

Well, the fact is we use Perl packages now (Git.pm and Git::Mediawiki.pm in contrib/mw-to-git/Git/). The way we build perl scripts in the toplevel's Makefile makes those packages accessible only in $GITPERLLIB if it's defined and defaults to $INSTLIBDIR to seek for installed version of those packages. We use a bin-wrapper to define that $GITPERLLIB variable so that the installed version gets bypassed by the one presents in the directory defined in $GITPERLLIB. > I just noticed that the script is not strictly a text file, ending > with an incomplete line, by the way. an incomplete line ? ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2013-06-27 18:07 Subject: Re: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm Message-ID: <7vip0zs9zn.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vip0zs9zn.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: ``` Benoît Person writes: >> I just noticed that the script is not strictly a text file, ending >> with an incomplete line, by the way. > an incomplete line ? http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap03.html#tag_03_194 ```
