Re: Linux v2.6.18-rc3

[Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>]

There's something weird in this release - object
0021aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a appears to change size (or it
does for me.)

Searching 'linux-2.6/.git/' and 'linux-2.6-mmc/.git/' for common objects and hardlinking them...
ERROR: File sizes are not the same, cannot relink linux-2.6/.git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a to linux-2.6-mmc/.git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a.

The first tree (linux-2.6) was fetched using rsync from a tree which also
had been obtained via rsync:

src@flint:[linux-2.6]:<1015> vdir .git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a
-r--r--r--  1 src src 6891 Jul 25 19:57 .git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a
src@flint:[linux-2.6]:<1016> md5sum .git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a
5607142215895de1d71abbff28e3d096  .git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a

And on hera:

[rmk@hera torvalds]$ vdir linux-2.6.git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a
-r--r--r--  1 torvalds torvalds 6891 Jul 22 00:45 linux-2.6.git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a
[rmk@hera torvalds]$ md5sum linux-2.6.git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a
5607142215895de1d71abbff28e3d096  linux-2.6.git/objects/00/21aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a

So the act of git fetch-ing from dyn-67's linux-2.6 tree to linux-2.6-*
appears to have changed this git object.

git-1.4.0, Fedora Core 5.

The actual contents of the object (git-cat-file blob
0021aad5db43ccc0d0356f2f5e4e28446c8b983a) appears to be identical
however.
