From: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@xxxxxxxxxx> The chop_str subroutine is meant to be used on strings (such as commit description / title) *before* HTML escaping, which means before applying esc_html or equivalent. Therefore get rid of the failed attempt to always remove full HTML entities (like e.g. & or ). It is not necessary (HTML entities gets added later), and it can cause chop_str to chop a string incorrectly. 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...

I have rewritten commit message, added signoffs, and removed all instances of failed attempt of removing HTML entities whole, even though only one of them is used. gitweb/gitweb.perl | 4 ---- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index d0c3ff2..1f6978a 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -1330,7 +1330,6 @@ sub chop_str { $str =~ m/^(.*?)($begre)$/; my ($lead, $body) = ($1, $2); if (length($lead) > 4) { - $body =~ s/^[^;]*;// if ($lead =~ m/&[^;]*$/); $lead = " ..."; } return "$lead$body"; @@ -1341,8 +1340,6 @@ sub chop_str { $str =~ m/^(.*?)($begre)$/; my ($mid, $right) = ($1, $2); if (length($mid) > 5) { - $left =~ s/&[^;]*$//; - $right =~ s/^[^;]*;// if ($mid =~ m/&[^;]*$/); $mid = " ...
