The textconv is indeed defined by the diff driver, which is associated with a pathname, not a blob Please, wrap your message to make it fit in 80 characters (M-q under Emacs can help). This applies to the cover email too, but is particularly important for this one, since it'll become the commit message if the patch is accepted. > diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h > index 0f4263c..26a1faf 100644 > --- a/cache.h > +++ b/cache.h > @@ -730,6 +730,14 @@ static inline unsigned int hexval(unsigned char c) > #define MINIMUM_ABBREV 4 > #define DEFAULT_ABBREV 7 > > +struct object_resolve_context { > + unsigned char tree[20]; > + char path[PATH_MAX]; > + unsigned mode; > +}; > +extern struct object_resolve_context object_context; Is it really a good idea to make this a global variable? As I understand it, the semantics of this variable is that it contains information on the last sha1 name parsed (BTW, you probably want to add a comment here explaining that). Wouldn't it be more robust to have this value returned by the function doing the parsing? -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
