Description pekarna 2013-01-07 03:46:52 UTC

I've created a symlink in my repo (which leads to non-existent file intentionally).
When trying to commit it, I get this dialog:

Git Command Failed
==================
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/ondra/uw/agreco.cz/git-os/php/fotky_ (No such file or directory)

Adding a symlink is supported in Git.
I was able to add it using git in shell.

adding a file to index fails, commit is fine:

Comment 2 Ondrej Vrabec 2013-01-07 14:09:24 UTC

No sure how to fix this reliably, JGit does not fully support symlinks and i am afraid without a change in JGit's code i cannot fix it. Maybe using reflection and methods from JDK7?
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=354367

Comment 3 Ondrej Vrabec 2013-07-30 13:56:19 UTC

hopefully fixing with JDK7 java.nio

fix: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/62e8b8af8ee5
