Re: "git clone" executed as root on solaris 10 shreds UFS (it is possible to create hardlinks for directories as root under solaris)

Hello David,

Does it help to say export CDPATH="" in your root shell?

no. The problem is triggered by "git-checkout-index -a -f" so my CDPATH has
absolutly _nothing_ todo with it:

        (faui04a) [/var/tmp] mkdir -p test-4/.git
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp] cd test-4
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] gcp -a ~/work/repositories/public/easix.git/* .git/
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git-read-tree HEAD
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git-checkout-index -a -f
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git status
        fatal: /usr/bin/git-status cannot be used without a working tree.
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] rm .git/config
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git status
        # On branch master
        # Changed but not updated:
        #   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)

        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] cd ..
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp] rm -rf test-4
        rm: Unable to remove directory test-4: File exists
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp]
