Checking out a git branch while in a path that exists only in the initial branch -


can me make sense of quirk i've found git?

here's how reproduce quirk:

$ mkdir git-test && cd git-test $ git init initialized empty git repository in /tmp/git-test/.git/ $ echo hello > world $ git add world $ git commit -m'first commit' [master (root-commit) 5f68103] first commit  1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)  create mode 100644 world

cool, right far; let's branch off:

$ git checkout -b a_branch $ mkdir a_dir $ echo foo > a_dir/bar $ git add a_dir/bar $ git commit -m message [a_branch (root-commit) 2fbef71] message  1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)  create mode 100644 a_dir/bar

ok, here comes quirk!

$ cd a_dir $ pwd /tmp/git-test/a_dir $ git checkout master switched branch 'master' $ pwd /tmp/git-test/a_dir

wtf!? path not exist in branch!

$ ls total 0

even ls seems work...

$ cd .. $ ls world

the directory `a_dir' has magically disappeared!

how possible?

if understand correctly, has not git.

your current working directory being removed process (in case git branch switch). same thing happen if rmdir current working directory.

$ cd /tmp $ mkdir test $ cd test $ rmdir ../test/ $ pwd /tmp/test $ ls /tmp/test ls: /tmp/test: no such file or directory

you can see similar effect when deleting files open: disappear file system, program opened them can still access them, , disk space reclaimed after program closes them. note behaviour different between unixy systems , windows. windows not let delete them in first place.

c# - Send Image in Json : 400 Bad request -

from android trying send image class of data, iis webservice. (c#) the problem 400 bad request . the image being encoded base64 . , placed json rest of class elements. my guess base64 not valid inside json. server not understand it. if set string "" , post accepted fine. so question is, how make base64 valid within json array? ( tried url.encode no success). or how should send image android webservice? gson gson = new gson(); string json = gson.tojson(record); // record has param { string base64photo } how big image? i'm pretty sure surpassing iis json size limit (default 4 mb). check http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/08/05/how-to-configure-maxjsonlength-in-asp.net-ajax-applications.aspx or http://www.webtrenches.com/post.cfm/iis7-file-upload-size-limits good luck!
