Update of sr #110594 (project administration): Status: None => Duplicate Assigned to: None => rwp Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: Hi Berny, Since this has been getting discussed in this other bug ticket I am going to reference it and close this one. Feel free to add comments there. https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110591 I'll summarize. First: Ignore that "hint:" message about hooks. Until we can clean things up across the 4643 git repositories. It used to be that "git init" would install many hook scripts in place as samples. They were never enabled because the file permissions were not executable. They contained a comment that says: # To enable this hook, make this file executable. In between versions started creating repositories named with a foohook.sample type naming where in addition to changing permissions one would need to rename the file away from .sample too. And so newer projects don't have those while older ones do. The newer version of git that we moved to on the 24th with the new server now complains about those files that exist but are not executable. Which is extremely annoying since they are reversing what they had previously done as a default. They created thousands of those files and now they want to reverse that decision. Grr... Of course it is just some simple scripting to process all of those and fix things up. And 'find' will be playing a huge good role in that scripting. But this "hint:" issue was only reported yesterday and I haven't had the moment to do it yet. But I will get to it soonest because I am sure everyone will be wondering about those new messages. My plan is to preserve timestamps on files by renaming files rather than by editing config files. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110594> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
