Fred Cooke commented on MRELEASE-777:
-------------------------------------
That's not my repo, it's from the (fairly recent) link in the body of the
issue. The original reporter is going to do some tests with the latest m-rel-p
version. Can you explain how the GIT_DIR GIT_WORK_TREE git checkout method is
not portable (across mac/win/lin at least)? I know it's fine on Linux and Mac,
and likely any other *nix, but I don't know if non-cygwin Windows would be
affected, or not.
In fact, if the code is calling for an 'scm *checkout*', as you say, then this
seems the only honest thing to do, no matter how fast a local hard-link based
clone is. How fast is that on NTFS, btw? Does git clone local use hardlinks on
NTFS? It'd not be very nice to shaft Win users, even if it is a broken OS :-)
