hbons/SparkleShare — Issue #460: New project with SparkeShare 0.4.1 on OSX
Author: zimbatm
Created: 2011-12-01 14:40:06+00:00
State: open

Symptom
-------------

When adding a new github repo, SparkleShare just quits unexpectedly (no crash report). The Console.app also shows the following line:

```
01.12.11 12:57:27.713 [0x0-0x4c24c2].org.sparkleshare.sparkleshare: Unhandled Exception: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path "/Users/zimbatm/SparkleShare/.tmp/ss-test/.git/info/exclude".
```

Solution
-----------

```
$ brew install git
$ cd /Applications/SparkleShare.app/Contents/Resources
$ mv git git.orig
$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.7.7.4/ git
```

The bundled git is at version 1.7.4 and might not produce the needed ".git/info/exclude" file.
