I noticed that rename(2) in my copy of cygwin (1.5.18-1) does not remove the target and returns an error (probably EPERM, but I have reasons not to trust strerror on that thing). The repository was on FAT. Taking "rename(2)" from cygwin's libiberty solved this (they unlink if link(2) returns EEXIST). PS: Does broken rename(2) qualify a system "not worthy to support"? - 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 Tue Oct 04 22:32:21 2005
