Now, the next major pain: Windows requires you to know whether the target path of symlink is a directory or a file in order to create symlink. How to handle this?
We cannot use Fossil's create_symlink() function during checkout, because when checking out, some files may not yet exist. We can handle this like isExe attribute: after checking out, go through all files that were supposed to be symlinks, remove them, and create proper symlinks. This will work when symlinks point to files/folders inside our repository, but what to do with other links? For example, imagine checking in the link to "../README", where README is located outside our repository. What link should be created in this case on Windows -- directory symlink or file symlink? -- Dmitry Chestnykh _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
