Dear diary, on Tue, May 03, 2005 at 09:13:40PM CEST, I got a letter where Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> told me that... > That said, I've been wondering if "git-read-tree -m <tree>" > always does the same thing (but only making the operation > afterwards faster) as "git-read-tree <tree>". That is, if there > is a valid use case where you would want to use it without "-m" > because "-m" does something wrong. If there is no such valid > use case probably we should always do "-m" version if we are > reading only one tree, practically deprecating "-m" flag to the > same status as "-r" flag to git-diff-cache. > > However, I have not had time to think things through and have > not bugged Linus about it myself. -m fails when your cache file is missing/corrupted. Not that it cannot be fixed, just remember to fix it if you are going to do what you described. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed May 04 07:34:52 2005
