Thanks for the report. The log shows this throwing in org.eclipse.jgit.util.SystemReader. Looks like this may be a bug with the version of JGit we're shipping. Is it possibly this? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565637

Same error happened again today. I took another look at the stack trace. The directory:

  • /home/william/.config Is a linux desktop standard folder for config files.

On this system the Git config is:

  • /home/william/.config/git/config

and

  • /home/william/.config is a symlink --> ../../data/home/william/.config/
  • Which collects all these things under a data/ file tree: /data/home/william/.config/

I noticed in the Eclipse error there is an association with a symbolic link.

One thing to remark on, this error doesn't come-up too often So, most of the time it seems to work find with the symlink.

Thanks for confirming that .config is a symlink so it is that bug - should have asked that directly. I think we can only fix this by upgrade of JGit. Should only be an annoyance rather than causing any usability issues?

Bumping this forward. Annoying bug, but shouldn't affect usage, and late in cycle to risk library upgrade.
