A very + quick update that does not change file size could therefore + make git incorrectly think files in the working tree are + unmodified even though they actually are modified. This is + called the "racy git" problem (discovered by Pasky), and + the entries that would appear clean when they ought not to + be because of this problem are called "racily clean". + . + This document explains how git avoids that problem. +Section: File Management + +Format: Text +Files: /usr/share/doc/git-doc/technical/racy-git.txt -- cgit v1.2.3
