http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543812 Summary: beagle: git won't work properly when beagle is running Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jbottomley@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Git uses file timestamps to track its index file. Meaning that if the timestamp of the file matches that in the git index git believes it hasn't altered. When beagle is running, git eventually finds a mismatch and thinks the local tree has been altered. This causes it to abort a lot of operations until the local alteration is fixed. The tree can be fixed temporarily by running git update-index --refresh, but after a while git finds spurious local alterations again. The only way to make git run correctly on my laptop (and not find spurious local alterations) is to kill beagled while using git. This is on a laptop running ext3 as root (where the git trees are stored) mounted with rw,noatime,acl,user_xattr -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
