I'm unsure why this was placed in their originally, and it seems to ultimately stem from code from before gitweb was merged into git core, but there's an instance where git chops a string incorrectly based on this. Specifically: API & protocol: support option to force written data immediately to disk from http://git.kernel.org/?p=daemon/distsrv/chunkd.git;a=commit;h=3b02f749df2cb1288f345a689d85e7061f507e54 The short version of the title gets chopped to API ... where it should be API & protocol: support option to force written data... This reverts that specific problem. --- gitweb/gitweb.perl | 1 - 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index 57771a0..4cc6d19 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -1382,7 +1382,6 @@ sub chop_str { my $body = $1; my $tail = $2; if (length($tail) > 4) { - $body =~ s/&[^;]*$//; $tail = "...
