From dea63088928cde2fd264a852a9b14c05178e0838 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 20:06:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] scalar: only warn when background maintenance fails A user reported issues with 'scalar clone' and 'scalar register' when working in an environment that had locked down the ability to run 'crontab' or 'systemctl' in that those commands registered as _failures_ instead of opportunistically reporting a success with just a warning about background maintenance. As a workaround, they can use GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER to fake a successful background maintenance, but this is not a viable strategy for long-term. Update 'scalar register' and 'scalar clone' to no longer fail by modifying register_dir() to only warn when toggle_maintenance(1) fails. Since background maintenance is a "nice to have" and not a requirement for a working repository, it is best to move this from hard error to gentle warning.
