Fixing the big mess with git and case insensitive filesystems

Mac OS X by default is a case insensitive file system. But Mac OS, as in a lot of other things, makes a half-assed job of this. In addition to causing various bits of confusion when creating directories it also leads to a potentially messy situation with git. This is how things happen:

1. You create a directory in your source tree called, say, Plugins with a capital "P".
2. After a few commits you decide that it's better to change this to a lower case "p": plugins
3. When you go to commit this rename (perhaps with a few other changes you implemented) git throws a hissy fit.

After a bit of searching on stack overflow it turns out that this is all related to Mac OS's case-insensitivity.

The cleanest fix I found on stack overflow was:

git mv Plugins temp00
git mv temp00 plugins
git commit

Apparently this fools git's index into doing the change, where as git mv Plugins plugins - because the underlying file system does not recognize the difference - tells git nothing has changed but it has and leaves it in some sort of half way state that messes it up.

A note on Python's __exit__() and errors

Python's context managers are a very neat way of handling code that needs a teardown once you are done. Python objects have do have a destructor method ( __del__ ) called right before the last instance of the object is about to be destroyed. You can do a teardown there. However there is a lot of fine print to the __del__ method. A cleaner way of doing tear-downs is through Python's context manager , manifested as the with keyword. class CrushMe: def __init__(self): self.f = open('test.txt', 'w') def foo(self, a, b): self.f.write(str(a - b)) def __enter__(self): return self def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): self.f.close() return True with CrushMe() as c: c.foo(2, 3) One thing that is important, and that got me just now, is error handling. I made the mistake of ignoring all those 'junk' arguments ( exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb ). I just skimmed the docs and what popped out is that you need to return True or

Using adminer on Mac OS X

adminer is a nice php based sqlite manager. I prefer the firefox plugin "sqlite manager" but it currently has a strange issue with FF5 that basically makes it unworkable, so I was looking for an alternative to tide me over. I really don't want apache running all the time on my computer and don't want people browsing to my computer, so what I needed to do was: Download the adminer php script into /Library/WebServer/Documents/ Change /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to allow running of php scripts (uncomment the line that begins: LoadModule php5_module Start the apache server: sudo apachectl -k start Operate the script by going to localhost Stop the server: sudo apachectl -k stop
