Description Jon Trowbridge 2005-09-09 19:41:51 UTC

In some cases, "cp foo bar" will cause "foo" to be dropped from the index. 
Because invalid metadata remains attached to "foo", it might not be
re-discovered by the daemon during subsequent crawls.

I spent some time thinking about this bug over the weekend, and found a problem
with my orginal fix.

My original patch was mostly correct, but didn't correctly handle some corner
cases: certain combinations of copy and move operations could cause an exception
to be thrown and leave the index in an inconsistent state.  The attached patch
fixes this problems.

Note: this patch does *not* obsolete my previous patch.  Both patches are
needed to fix the problem.

AJ, if this won't make 10.0 I'd like to ship an update.
