During a "git pull" operation, I get a report about objects in a "..." directory. What is this directory ? I'm surprised because when trying "ls -l ..." in a shell, the response is "No such file or directory". There is obviously a difference to the git syntax. What is this difference ?

Here is an exemple of such an output:

remote: Enumerating objects: 69, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (69/69), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (33/33), done.
remote: Total 47 (delta 27), reused 26 (delta 6), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (47/47), done.

  • Can you show us the output you're seeing by editing your question to include a code block with the appropriate text?

  • Not directly an answer to your Q; you got that below. However, you wrote that ls -l does not show.... In UNIX, files with names starting with a dot are called hidden files. To include them in an ls listing, you need to add the "a" option, e.g. ls -la

It's a truncated path.

Consider the full path of two of the files:

basex-core/src/main/java/org/basex/io/parse/json/JsonBasicConverter.java
basex-core/src/main/java/org/basex/query/func/db/DbNew.java

One path is simply too long to display, so it is truncated. However, cutting of the end is not a sensible choice for paths, because the most valuable information is towards the end. Hence, the start is cut off.
