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..
