git-verify-pack can be called with a filename without .idx extension. add_packed_git() on the other hand depends on its presence. So instead of trying to call it with whatever the user gave us check for that extension and add it if it's missing. That means that you can't name your index file "blah" and your pack file ".pack" anymore ("git-verify-pack blah" currently works in that case). I think this regression is a good change. ;-) Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- verify-pack.c | 11 +++++------ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff a/verify-pack.c b/verify-pack.c --- a/verify-pack.c +++ b/verify-pack.c @@ -18,13 +18,12 @@ if (has_extension(arg, len, ".pack")) { strcpy(arg + len - 5, ".idx"); len--; + } else if (!has_extension(arg, len, ".idx")) { + if (len + 4 >= PATH_MAX) + return error("name too long: %s.idx", arg); + strcpy(arg + len, ".idx"); + len += 4; } - /* Should name foo.idx now */ - if ((g = add_packed_git(arg, len, 1))) - break; - /* No? did you name just foo? */ - strcpy(arg + len, ".idx"); - len += 4; if ((g = add_packed_git(arg, len, 1))) break; return error("packfile %s not found.", arg); - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
