Re: [BUG] git status doesn't handle submodules properly on OSX

Hi!

I've cloned git this morning in order to try a build from this.
But chances are small that it will make a difference. Because from
the portfile I can see that macports just downloads 1.6.0.2 release
and builds it without any special patches or configure options.

As I said before, 1.5.6 works fine for me. But why 1.6.0.2 does not
work on my box - I don't know yet. Since Pedro uses a case-insensitive
volume as well, the problem seems not be related to sensitve/insensitive.

Now that I have a git clone on my box I might try bisect as well.

Yours,
Lars

My git version "1.6.0.2" says:

Git was build from macports.

hmms.. Really, I know about fink and Macports and all others, but I'm
using Mac OS X since version 10.1 (when compiling OSS software was
near impossible due to Apple decisions) and I've always had better
results with compiling my own than using any of those OSS repositories.

I understand the appeal, it seems easier, but I would recommend that
you compile yourself the software packages you depend on.

Regarding git, I saw a git-build.sh script floating around. If you
cannot find it, you might want to try my own recipe
(http://tinyurl.com/4ayze6
). I compile git master every day (cron) and thats the one I use on my
main machine.
