Thanks for the tool. I managed to get it working on plan9front/386 Go 1.8 beta1 with a network connection. I will probably try it soon on plan9/arm.
Initially, it did not compile. Here are the quick fixes that I needed to make. 1) There is no syscall.Stat_t on plan9, instead the stat.Sys() returns a syscall.Dir index.go:AddFile(): I changed stat to be fstat.Sys().(*syscall.Dir) csec = stat.Mtime (This is how APE maps ctimes) cnano = uint64(0) (There does not seem to be any nanosecond precision on mtimes in plan9) uint32(stat.Qid.Path) (Roughly equivalent to inode numbers) uint32(0) (GID’s are strings in plan9) uint32(0) (UID’s are strings) I assume that you want the library to be platform neutral so these should probably be abstracted. 2) Compile error sha1.go:GetTree() Sha1FromString(commit.Tree.Id.String()) The tests seem to be passing. I will try more rigorous tests. If the github bug gets fixed then I can submit pull requests.
