From b7994af0f92e6cf150544aebe3c3fc526faaf2c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:52:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] type_from_string_gently: make sure length matches When commit fe8e3b7 refactored type_from_string to allow input that was not NUL-terminated, it switched to using strncmp instead of strcmp. But this means we check only the first "len" bytes of the strings, and ignore any remaining bytes in the object_type_string. We should make sure that it is also "len" bytes, or else we would accept "comm" as "commit", and so forth.
