git fails to pull changes due to local changes in the file mode. #1

Closed jrgnicho closed 10 years ago

jrgnicho commented 10 years ago

Whenever a file's mode (read/write/execute ,etc) was changed locally the the git pull fails. As a result, jenkins will try to build each time the trigger_jobs.sh script runs since the repo(s) was never updated.

This issue can be address by modifying the git configuration of the local machine. Change the 'fileMode' property in order to ignore mode changes in files; on a Linux terminal run the following command: git config core.fileMode false
