Subject: Work around broken ln on solaris as used in t8006
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.4.2~10
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c3786c8472093ec01b73a71a56f405932044a67e;p=git.git

Work around broken ln on solaris as used in t8006

The test setup in t8006-blame-textconv.sh uses "ln -sf" to
overwrite an existing symlink.  Unfortunately, both /usr/bin/ln
and /usr/xpg4/bin/ln on solaris 9 don't properly handle -f and -s
used at the same time.  This caused the test setup and subsequent
checks to fail.

Instead, remove the symlink and then create a new one in the
setup code.

The upstream Solaris bug (fixed in 10, but not 9) is documented
here:
