Hi,
I have no experience with GIT.
I'd like to determine if a GIT repository in Gentoo is up-to-date.
Normally, a GIT folder has a '.git' subfolder. Using 'git status' in
such a GIT folder works fine.
But the subfolders in /usr/portage/distfiles/git3-src don't contain a
'.git' subfolder.
A plain 'git status' in such a subfolder doesn't work - I get "fatal:
This operation must be run in a work tree".
Is there a means to determine the status of a Gentoo-GIT-folder?
Background: I'd like to check if anything has changed in the GIT
repository before I run an 'emerge -u' for that.
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
