Re: How to use guix hash --serializer?

[Mortimer Cladwell]

Thanks Tobias you are correct.

My project is ~/projects/shinyln

I repeat your suggestion of cloning a second copy into ~temp/shinyln, cd,
git reset etc.

I then compare the contents of the two 'clone' directories, see below

looks like the difference, other than make/git related files are four empty
directories doc, scripts, shinyln and tests, so appears empty directories
are not allowed?

----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Simon,

mbc@HP8300:~/projects/shinyln$  git --no-pager log -1 --oneline
  git status
9f06568 (HEAD -> master, origin/master) removed chmod statement
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!
