|
The (awesome!) git import will not cope with file/directory names containing whitespace: for a file only the part before the first space will show. For a directory, a file with a name of the first part of the directory name before whitespace will be created and all files beneath the dir will not show up.
Minimal test case:
# init git repo
$ mkdir gitrepo
$ cd gitrepo/
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dgruber/tmp/gitrepo/.git/
# add a file with name containing whitespace
$ echo 1 > "file with whitespace.txt"
$ git add file\ with\ whitespace.txt
$ git commit -m "add file"
[master (root-commit) 1cc529c] add file
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 file with whitespace.txt
# add a file in a dir with dirname containing whitespace
$ mkdir "dir with whitespace"
$ echo 2 > dir\ with\ whitespace/test.txt
$ git add dir\ with\ whitespace/
$ git commit -m "add file in dir with space"

This is on Debian squeeze i386, latest fossil [20b04536d0c9ab0932e719d2a2475dd22c1354d7] built form source. Cheers, Daniel anonymous added on 2010-12-10 20:10:25: $ git --version git version 1.7.2.3 Cheers, Daniel drh added on 2010-12-11 00:31:03: But as long as you do not copy or rename files with spaces in their pathnames, git-fast-import and also Fossil should now be able to deal with it, at least as of check-in [4ee4aa5a30733a5]. | ||||
