The last test case checks whether unpacked objects receive the time stamp of the pack file. Due to different implementations of stat(2) by MSYS and our version in compat/mingw.c, the test fails in about half of the test runs. Note the following facts: - The test uses perl's -M operator to compare the time stamps. Since we depend on MSYS perl, the result of this operator is based on MSYS's implementation of the stat(2) call. - NTFS on Windows records fractional seconds. - The MSYS implementation of stat(2) *rounds* fractional seconds to full seconds instead of truncating them. This becomes obvious by comparing the modification times reported by 'ls --full-time $f' and 'stat $f' for various files $f. - Our implementation of stat(2) in compat/mingw.c *truncates* to full seconds. The consequence of this is that - add_packed_git() picks up a truncated whole second modification time from the pack file time stamp, which is then used for the loose objects, while the pack file retains its time stamp in fractional seconds; - but the test case compared the pack file's rounded modification times to the loose objects' truncated modification times. And half of the time the rounded modification time is not the same as its truncated modification time. The fix is that we replace perl by 'test-chmtime -v +0', which prints the truncated whole-second mtime without modifying it.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
