Wrong status over samba

Reported by JiHO | May 7th, 2009 @ 05:11 PM

When the repository that is browsed in on a samba share, Gitx shows some files as changed when there are actually no more changes in these files:

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/10473...

It does not seem to be a problem of changed files permissions (samba puts a mask on those so it could have been) since the permissions output by ls -l are the same locally and remotely.

In addition, committing the whole file (by double clicking it in the "Unstaged changes" area) commits it but the file immediately reappears in the "Unstaged changes" (with an empty diff of course)

    That's funny.. can you compare the output of

    git update-index -q --unmerged --ignore-missing --refresh
git --git-dir=/Users/pieter/projects/GitX/.git ls-files --others --exclude-standard -z
git --git-dir=/Users/pieter/projects/GitX/.git diff-files -z

    in both directories and see if there's a difference? My guess would be OS X doesn't like the samba stuff, perhaps of the 2-second timestamps.

    I supposed that the --git-dir argument was something local to your machine. here is the output from within my repository:

    what does git gui do in this case?

  • JiHO

    JiHO May 29th, 2009 @ 05:32 PM

    It bugs too, badly. On the samba mount, there is a panel popping up stating:

    No differences detected

.gitignore has no changed

The modification date of this file was updated by
another application, but the content within the file
was not changed.

A rescan will be automatically started to find other
files which may have the same state.

[OK]

    Upon pressing OK, the panel reappears and keeps reappearing.
    .gitignore is the first file in the list so that's why it is mentioned here.

    This made me wonder wether this was a clock problem on the computer. Setting the time on the server to -1h does not help.

    BTW, gitx and git-gui work perfectly through sshfs on the same two machines (but, even though convenient, sshfs is not as fast as samba on a local network).

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, seems like a git/samba bug then. I suggest you try it on the git
    mailinglist instead.
