git clean follows directory junctions rather than removing them #5320

Oh wow, is this path longer than 4095 characters? https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/v2.47.1.windows.1/compat/win32/fscache.c#L128 |

I think the actual bug is that it's following a symlink (reparse point). I ran the build and I see: > dir
Directory of C:\_\B\src\rustc-1.83.0-src\build-CLANGARM64\aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm\stage0-sysroot\lib\rustlib\rustc-src

It looks like this is a Directory Junction reparse point (a la mkdir test
cd test
git init
mkdir -p 'B/src/rustc-1.83.0-src/build-CLANGARM64/aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm/stage0-sysroot/lib/rustlib/rustc-src/'
cmd //s //c 'mklink /j B\src\rustc-1.83.0-src\build-CLANGARM64\aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm\stage0-sysroot\lib\rustlib\rustc-src\rust B\src\rustc-1.83.0-src'
git clean -xfdfUnfortunately, I'm not getting the But either way, Since it's not hitting the mkdir test
cd test
git init
cmd //s //c 'mklink /j foo .'
git clean -xfdfor if you want to be evil, make the link target c:\windows or something 😈 |

Obtained during msys2-autobuild run building rust. I kind of suspect some type of circular link that Git isn't detecting/handling properly. Unfortunately I
rmdir /s'ed the thing to get the runner back, but I could probably reproduce it again if you'd like me to try some commands to figure out what the link is and why Git for Windows followed it instead of removing it.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
