Re: [trinity-devel] Help! fatal: destination path 'main/applications/ktorrent' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Looks like this tiny nightmare might be behind me. I don't know what happened, but some combination of git clone, git reset --hard HEAD, git clean -dxff, git checkout master, and manually copying missing admin and cmake .git folders seems to have gotten the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script to remain calm and quiet and stop terminating. No more fatal messages. I updated my wrapper script to tee the output of switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script to a log. Took 3 hours to clone tde-i18n --- something not right about that. What a wasted day --- back to building packages and testing! Darrell

>It is strange to me, how could git folder just lose. >For tde-i18n would "lost" had to take some time. Strange to me too and I've had all day to think about a root cause. I know of only one thing I might have done to inadvertently delete the folders. Yet the conundrum of even that possibility is every single .git folder should have been deleted throughout the entire tree. That is not the case. Further, stand-alone files such as .gitmodules would have been deleted too, but those files are intact. Other than the .git folder the remainder of the tde-i18n module tree is intact. >Have you tried git fsck on the modules that are okay for now? Yes. I also tried git clean -f. Running 'git pull' results in an 'Already up to date' message and no errors. When I run the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script then the proverbial hell breaks loose because some of the modules are missing the respective .git folders. At this point I just want my local tree updated far more than solving the mystery of what happened. Further frustrating is the Trinity git server is really slow with respect to cloning. According to the progress bar, I'm downloading at about 80-90 KiB/s. At 1.1 GB and a 3 Mbps connection, the tde- i18n module should finish loading in about 50 minutes. I'm still waiting 90 minutes later and the tde-i18n clone is only 64% complete. At this rate, cloning the entire tree might take days. :-( Darrell

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
