From 975b31dc6e12fba8f7b067ddbe32230995e05400 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2005 22:31:42 +0100 Subject: Handle symlinks graciously This patch converts a stat() to an lstat() call, thereby fixing the case when the date of a symlink was not the same as the one recorded in the index. The included test case demonstrates this. This is for the case that the symlink points to a non-existing file. If the file exists, worse things than just an error message happen.
