Today was a nice reminder that there are no end of bugs lurking in filename
|
||
|
|
handling code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, fixed a bug that prevented git-annex from adding
|
||
|
|
filenames starting with ":", because that is a special character to git.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Second, discovered that git 1.8.4 rc0 has changed `git-cat-file --batch` in
|
||
|
|
a way that makes it impossible to operate on filenames containing spaces.
|
||
|
|
This is, IMHO, a reversion, so hopefully my
|
||
|
|
[bug report](http://bugs.debian.org/718517) will get it fixed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put in a workaround for that, although using the broken version of git
|
||
|
|
with a direct mode repository with lots of spaces in file or directory
|
||
|
|
names is going to really slow down git-annex, since it often has to fork a
|
||
|
|
new git cat-file process for each file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Release day tomorrow..
