The 'clean' tool may break git repos #161

Closed rbost closed 7 years ago

rbost commented 7 years ago

The 'clean' tool of the LaTeX bundle removes all the files ending with the .idx extension, including the ones that might be present in a .git/objects/pack directory (cf. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Packfiles). This is a huge problem because running 'clean' in a git repo with such a file simply breaks the repo (without any way to easily recover).

One should be able to explicitly give a list of directories which must not be visited by 'clean', with a default to .git, .hg, .svn, ... For the moment, a workaround is to remove the .idx matching regex in config/auxiliary.yaml.

Modifying config/auxiliary.yaml is not enough to properly fix this issue: this file defines regex on filenames, and do not take directories into account.

Hi Raphael,

thank you for reporting this issue. Sorry for introducing this problem in the first place 😳. I hope you could restore your Git repository. I (hopefully) fixed the problem in commit 9d330182. The command should now ignore files in hidden subdirectories.

Kind regards, René
