If all you care about is updating a directory against a master server, rsync can also do the job, with much less complexity

Git..

Think it works.

EDIT: With caveats: see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=24 if it moans about missing an executable or two for your favourite function...

Seven hour turn-around service on a custom request, not bad, not bad at all.

core.symlinks
If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that contain the link text. git-update-index(1) and git-add(1) will not change the recorded type to regular file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support symbolic links.

The default is true, except git-clone(1) or git-init(1) will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository is created.

Taken from https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/...it-config.html
Worth perusing.

@knc1 thanks mate

Rsync? Wasn't that in optware?

aditya3098 · 09-29-2013, 01:01 AM

The deps on debian look a bit scary.

aditya3098 · 09-29-2013, 01:07 AM

And does rsync use change deltas?

aditya3098 · 09-29-2013, 01:27 AM

It Kinda works, (no https or ssh+git, only git://) but after the clone, git complains about git-merge not being present. I put all the libexec stuff in my path, but no avail.

twobob · 09-29-2013, 07:07 AM

okay.

well you can just copy the file /extensions/git/usr/libexec/git-core/git and call it git-merge. (screenie attached - you can see they are all the same file)

disappointing that git uses some of those names internally, the implication was in the support threads that git merely used the location as an old, additional support backup...
(I link to the msysgit project as the FAT storage effectively puts in the world of windows)
perhaps I could go with an ext3 loop as was my original vision...

I personally think I would fix this on my own machine with an "alias" but a hard copy would have just the same effect.

rsync.. pretty certain I already did that. will nose around

and ctorrent...

and here is the monster sized GIT, should you fancy taming the beast yourself.

@aditya3098: rsync is in USBnet ;p. And yeah, it only transfers delta
