jgit fails with "cannot checkout; no HEAD advertised by remote" in guessHEAD on some repositories. JGIT used to work on my test repo for the maven-scm-providers-git until a few weeks. I tracked it down with git bisect and found commit 72b1f0d334729a49cc52e4762093148be62bea39 to be the bad one. I glimpsed at the code and it appears that the new code in RefDatabase#readLine is not Windows CR+LF aware. (This hits me although I use Linux because our SVN at apache.org seems to have it stored with CR+LF.) Fixed by subsequently removing all Character.isWhitespaceChar() from the end of the buffer Signed-off-by: Mark Struberg <struberg@xxxxxxxx> --- .../src/org/spearce/jgit/lib/RefDatabase.java | 6 +++++- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/lib/RefDatabase.java b/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/lib/RefDatabase.java index ba4b654..477dc62 100644 --- a/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/lib/RefDatabase.java +++ b/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/lib/RefDatabase.java @@ -500,8 +500,12 @@ private static String readLine(final File file) int n = buf.length; if (n == 0) return null; - if (buf[n - 1] == '\n') + + // remove trailing whitespaces + while (n > 0 && Character.isWhitespace(buf[n - 1])) { n--; + } + return RawParseUtils.decode(buf, 0, n); } -- 1.6.2.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
