Hi Brian,
sounds odd, since git doesn't care about filesystem metadata of the
files it
tracks - it just cares about their content. So if you did a 1:1
copy of the
repository directory onto another drive, unless something mangled
the data
during that copy, not a thing should have changed from git's
perspective...
Yes, absolutely - just installed the new NAS, put the old drive on a
temporary mount point, and did a simple copy.
this sounds like you missed the hidden-by-default .git directory if
you used the normal copy command... if that directory was copied from
the original then please ignore me... i'm also still pre- 1st c0ffee
of the day...
You would be correct the first time, but then I tried using p7zip to
pack up the entire directory and copied that across, then unpacked it,
and it still had problems. I could have tried moving rather than
copying, but then that leaves me with a problem that I have to do
another copy as I'm using the old drive as my backup device. I think
I'm about to start writing my own very specific backup utility!
Brian.
