From 0d5709cf88e9f242e0e31ccbda42a1c827c90a22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2006 01:06:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: Describe deleted symlinks in a more friendly way. Currently core-git's diff utilities report a deleted symlink as a deleted file with a mode of 120000. This is not nearly as user friendly as one might like, as the user must remember that 120000 is the UNIX mode bits for a symlink. So instead we transform the not-so-friendly message from core-git into a slightly more user friendly "deleted symlink" message. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
