From 3ac64370164fb80e92c3c9136210d3a49f1e01fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:25:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix is_gitfile() for files too small or larger than PATH_MAX to be a gitfile MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The logic to check whether a file is a gitfile used the heuristics that a gitfile cannot be larger than PATH_MAX or smaller than 10 bytes (as its contents is "gitdir: " followed by a path) and returned early. But it returned with a wrong value. It should have said "this cannot possibly be a gitfile" by returning 0, but it returned 1 instead. Our test cases do not cover this, as the bundle files produced are smaller than PATH_MAX, except on Windows. While at it, fix the faulty logic that the path stored in a gitfile cannot be larger than PATH_MAX-sizeof("gitdir: "). Problem identified by running the test suite in msysGit, offending commit identified by Jörg Rosenkranz.
