[PATCH] Fixed Cygwin CR-munging problem in mailsplit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Do not open mailbox file as fopen(..., "rt")
as this strips CR characters from the diff,
thus breaking the patch context for changes 
in CRLF files.

This reproduction scenario results in exactly the same problem.
The problem is observed on Cygwin.
My initial evaluation of the problem turned out to be completely bogus.

I've tracked the problem down to the fopen(file, "rt") in mailsplit.c,
which then truncates the CR character from the patch file.
This changes the patch context lines and it no longer applies.
Changing it to fopen(file, "r") fixes the problem.

My use case does not involve e-mail transfers at all.
I'm using git-format-patch and git-am to rewrite the
patch sequence with different commit messages. 

Unfortunately, some of my fellow developers are not quite
careful, and occasionally some of the source files acquire
CR characters, sometimes in several lines only.
