I've audited the code and the only place I could find where it did not work
|
||
|
|
to have othertmp on a different filesystem is in the bittorrent special
|
||
|
|
remote when it downloads a torrent file. But that also failed when
|
||
|
|
`.git/annex/tmp` was on a different filesystem! (Since it was moving between
|
||
|
|
the two directories.) I've fixed that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's still best to keep things on the same filesystem because
|
||
|
|
cross-filesystem moves can be expensive and it sometimes falls back to less
|
||
|
|
ideal behavior in other ways too when operating across filesystems. Also
|
||
|
|
of course, you avoid being the one who gets to find and report breakage
|
||
|
|
like the above..
