[PATCH v2] Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template

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

 



These config variables are parsed to substitute ~ and ~user with getpw
entries.

user_path() refactored into new function expand_user_path(), to allow
dynamically allocating the return buffer.

Original patch by Karl Chen, modified by Matthieu Moy, and further
amended by Junio C Hamano.

Here's the new version, with Junio's modifications squashed in.

I just replaced "user" with "specified user" to make it clear one can
specify a user with ~foo/, but since the documentation appears in two
places (possibly more in the future), I prefered to Keep It Simple.
