Re: Inconsistent revision control
Thanks for the information. That indeed was the problem. Carbon Copy Cloner squirrels some files away to allow undo, a feature that I don’t usually pay attention to. Removing the extra CCC directory did the trick.

Re: Inconsistent revision control
Can we start over? I am trying to do a JDK build using make. It reports an error like this: Inconsistent revision control: 17-24-55/ is missing .git directory at which point the build is aborted. I’d like to know what this message means, so that I can fix the problem or avoid it in the future. What is 17-24-55? If there is a missing .git directory, where would it be? The top level .git directory is present. If I do “git status” it tells me things that I expect, listing untracked files and changes not staged for commit. It does not complain about the repo being broken in any way.

Re: Inconsistent revision control
The makefile is trying to locate your local repositories and record the state of the workspace. It will only do so if it finds what looks like .git repositories and a git executable to run. If not, it will just skip this. You aren't giving us much to work on here, but the error message looks to originate from this line: "$(error Inconsistent revision control: $(repo) is missing $(SCM_DIR) directory))" This implies that the string "17-24-55" is a directory name that the makefile thinks is a repository. If you could locate this directory in your workspace, it might shed some light on what's actually happening. The algorithm for finding repositories is basically this (but using the make $(wildcard) function instead of ls): $ ls .git */.git */*/.git */*/*/.git */*/*/*/.git This means that there must be a file named ".git" in your "17-24-55" workspace, or possibly up to 4 directories down. I'm not familiar with Carbon Copy Cloner, and I'm not sure why you would use such a tool. Git is a pretty good tool for moving source code around. Adding another layer of copying on top seems to me like it could easily cause trouble. /Erik On 6/26/23 16:12, Alan Snyder wrote: That much is obvious :-) As the script appears to run git status, I am going to take a guess that it is complaining because I have modified or untracked files in the repo.
