One happened (sometimes) when a +file was deleted and replaced with a directory by the same name and then +those changes were merged into a direct mode repository. + +The other problem was that direct mode did not prevent writes to +.git/annex/objects the way that indirect mode does, so when a file in the +repository was not currently present, writing to the dangling symlink would +follow it and write into the object directory. + +Hmm, I was going to say that it's a pity that direct mode still has so many +bugs being found and fixed, but the last real bug fix to direct mode was +made last May! Instead, I probably have to thank Tim for being a very +thorough tester. + +Finished switching the test suite to use the tasty framework, and prepared +tasty packages for Debian. |
