Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mercurial
when syncing hg repos from or to a filesystem using ecryptfs, the sizes
of the symlinks are different causing spurious modification messages.
For example, if /tmp is clear fs and $HOME is ecryptfs:
mkdir /tmp/hgtest
cd /tmp/hgtest
hg init
touch foo
ln -s foo bar
hg add foo bar
hg ci -m 'file and symlink'
hg st
sleep 3 # necessary for bug to manifest
rsync -ra /tmp/hgtest/ ~/hgtest
cd ~/hgtest
hg st
output:
M bar
