ZIGI.PANELS/ZIGIEDIT git-encoding=BINARY zos-working-tree-encoding=BINARY binary           

When I cloned this repoistory the zigiedit was in the filesystem as text and not binary.

this is with git 2.44 - and this same issue with pdsegen:

PDSEGEN.PDS/CLS git-encoding=BINARY zos-working-tree-encoding=BINARY binary

[IgorTodorovskiIBM]

We don't support 'git-encoding=BINARY zos-working-tree-encoding=BINARY'. What happens if you remove that and keep the binary part?

And sorry I can't test it out myself at the moment (on vacation this week with no computer)

[lbdyck]

The .gitattributes doesa have just binary

example

CBTVIEW.PDS/UNZIPXMI git-encoding=BINARY zos-working-tree-encoding=BINARY binary

Enjoy your vacation

[lbdyck]

I removed the zos-working-tree-encoding=BINARY and now everything works fine with both the Rocket Git and the z/OS Open Tools Git. An update to zigi has been generated with a PR and I will be updating all my repositories that have this to remove it.

[IgorTodorovskiIBM]

I'll leave this open because I think we should be ignoring the case where zos-working-tree-encoding is set to BINARY. I believe right now it detects that BINARY is not supported and stops, ignoring the following binary attribute.

Hmm, I cloned zigi and was not able to reproduce this:

ls -lT ./ZIGI.PANELS/ZIGIEDIT
b binary      T=off -rw-rw-r--   1 ITODORO  CDEV       13040 Apr  8 11:42 ./ZIGI.PANELS/ZIGIEDIT

[lbdyck]

Did you check ZIGI.PANELS/ZIGIEDIT git-encoding=BINARY zos-working-tree-encoding=BINARY binary ?

[IgorTodorovskiIBM]

This was after cloning https://github.com/zigi/zigi.git. I checked the attribute using chtag and looked at the .gitattributes file. Is there another way to check?

[IgorTodorovskiIBM]

@lbdyck - is this still an issue?
