COMMITS

Last week there were 7 commits.
🛠️ Merge pull request #2504 from dscho/access-repo-via-junction Handle git add <file> where traverses an NTFS junction by dscho
🛠️ mingw: implement a platform-specific strbuf_realpath() There is a Win32 API function to resolve symbolic links, and we can use that instead of resolving them manually. Even better, this function also resolves NTFS junction points (which are somewhat similar to bind mounts). This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2481. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin johannes.schindelin@gmx.de by dscho
🛠️ strbuf_realpath(): use platform-dependent API if available Some platforms (e.g. Windows) provide API functions to resolve paths much quicker. Let's offer a way to short-cut strbuf_realpath() on those platforms. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin johannes.schindelin@gmx.de by dscho
🛠️ mingw: demonstrate a git add issue with NTFS junctions NTFS junctions are somewhat similar in spirit to Unix bind mounts: they point to a different directory and are resolved by the filesystem driver. As such, they appear to lstat() as if they are directories, not as if they are symbolic links. Any user can create junctions, while symbolic links can only be created by non-administrators in Developer Mode on Windows 10. Hence NTFS junctions are much more common "in the wild" than NTFS symbolic links. It was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2481 that adding files via an absolute path that traverses an NTFS junction: since 1e64d18 (mingw: do resolve symlinks in getcwd()), we resolve not only symbolic links but also NTFS junctions when determining the absolute path of the current directory. The same is not true for git add <file>, where symbolic links are resolved in <file>, but not NTFS junctions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin johannes.schindelin@gmx.de by dscho
🛠️ Merge pull request #2501 from jeffhostetler/clink-debug-curl clink.pl: fix MSVC compile script to handle libcurl-d.lib by dscho
🛠️ clink.pl: fix MSVC compile script to handle libcurl-d.lib Update clink.pl to link with either libcurl.lib or libcurl-d.lib depending on whether DEBUG=1 is set. Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler jeffhost@microsoft.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin johannes.schindelin@gmx.de by jeffhostetler
