I have a backup clone of the entire drive and the same modules are missing the .git folders there too. Likely this has been happening for several days but as I don't sit and watch the script running I would not have noticed the fatal error messages. The .git folders have simply disappeared. How will remain a mystery. Not all have disappeared, just some. Murphy's Law, one of the affected folders has to be !#%* tde-i18n, at 1.1 GB. I'm slowly rebuilding affected modules by running git clone in a clean location, but this is not my idea of how to spend the day. :-( The entire GIT tree is 5.5 GB, which with my ISP connection, would take more than 4 hours --- at optimal connection speed. Probably 6 hours or so, because many folks on this small rural ISP network are indoors during the cold winter night streaming movies.... I'd like to find a way to just snag the missing .git folder, but no such fortune yet on the web. Darrell

After waiting for several hours for tde-i18n to update, the directory still won't sync when I run the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script. Now tdeadmin is missing the .git directory. I have no idea what is happening here but one-by-one the module .git directories are disappearing. Is there a way to download just the .git directory? Or pull the .git directory from the top level of the sources? Darrell

>With git >= 1.7.8 are submodules cloned into .git/modules and in >submodule folder is only .git file. I have no idea what happened or why only now everything is exploding. That said, looks like possibly my tree has been corrupted for a while. I have no idea what is the catalyst to start the recent events. Seems right now I have a mish-mash mixture of some modules with a .git directory and some modules with a .git file pointing to a respective .git directory in the root of the source tree. Some modules have no .git directory in the module or in the root .git directory. Like right now, tde-i18n is void of any .git directory in either location. That is 1.1GB of files I don't want to have to download when all I need is a respective .git directory somewhere. Running git pull does nothing to recreate the .git directory somewhere. Is there a fix for this? Or, is there a way I can update my tree to move the .git folder that exists in each module to ../../../.git/modules/ and create an appropriate .git file in each module that points to ../../../.git/modules/{modulename}?

>git fsck >git submodule foreach --recursive "git fsck" Ok, thanks. I did that but I still am recieving the fatal errors. Darrell

>From a certain version of the GIT are ".git" folders of submodules >placed into folder ".git/modules" in the "master" module. Okay, I think I now see what you described. When did this change occur? I have not updated my git package. Why is this now happening only in the past several days? Why am I now receiving all of these fatal messages? How do I stop the messages? The latest fatal is tde-i18n, the biggest pig module of them all. Darrell

My fear is as my local tree continually self-explodes, I am going to end up cloninge the entire tree, which at 4 or 5 GBs will take all damn day. There must be some kind of repair procedure? Darrell

One by one they are disappearing. Every time I resync a new module is affected. Something got corrupted and the proverbial hell is breaking loose here. :-) I hate git! Darrell

Help! fatal: destination path 'main/applications/ktorrent' already exists and is not an empty directory.

All, Within the past couple of days I now am getting a lot of these types of messages when I attempt to sync my local tree: fatal: destination path 'main/applications/ktorrent' already exists and is not an empty directory. Thus far the only fix I have found is to delete the entire module and resync. The problem is there is no .git directory in the affected modules. I have no idea how to fix and searching the web is not helping. There seems to be no end to the madness. With each resync a new module is affected. Please help! Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Compiling TQt3 with -debug/-release --- reversed?

>I am noticing a peculiarity when I compile TQt3.... > >Am I doing something wrong or are the -debug/-release configure >options reversed? Never mind. PEBKAC. I was using an environment variable $DEBUG twice in two different places. The two different uses confused the build script --- and confused me too. :-) Darrell
