Fix mishandling of $Id$ expanded in the repository copy in convert.c
If the repository contained an expanded ident keyword (i.e. $Id:XXXX$),
then the wrong bytes were discarded, and the Id keyword was not
expanded. The fault was in convert.c:ident_to_worktree().
Previously, when a "$Id:" was found in the repository version,
ident_to_worktree() would search for the next "$" after this, and
discarded everything it found until then. That was done with the loop:
do {
ch = *cp++;
if (ch == '$')
break;
rem--;
} while (rem);
The above loop left cp pointing one character _after_ the final "$"
(because of ch = *cp++). This was different from the non-expanded case,
were cp is left pointing at the "$", and was different from the comment
which stated "discard up to but not including the closing $". This
patch fixes that by making the loop:
do {
ch = *cp;
if (ch == '$')
break;
cp++;
rem--;
} while (rem);
That is, cp is tested _then_ incremented.
This loop exits if it finds a "$" or if it runs out of bytes in the
source. After this loop, if there was no closing "$" the expansion is
skipped, and the outer loop is allowed to continue leaving this
non-keyword as it was. However, when the "$" is found, size is
corrected, before running the expansion:
size -= (cp - src);
This is wrong; size is going to be corrected anyway after the expansion,
so there is no need to do it here. This patch removes that redundant
correction.
To help find this bug, I heavily commented the routine; those comments
are included here as a bonus.
