GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in <alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>: I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case, no? The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as "even Windows is safe" ;-) This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.
