>From Junio's e-mail: "The current behaviour of ref@{...} syntax parser is suboptimal: $ git rev-parse --verify jch@{99999} && echo true warning: Log for 'jch' only has 1368 entries. cfb88e9a8d4926b0011ae2dd67e1f57a98f4b768 true It even knows that it is running off the cut-off point; it should just cause the caller to notice that fact. I don't think changing it to error out should cause any harm to existing callers." With this change: $ git rev-parse --verify jch@{99999} || echo false fatal: Log for 'jch' only has 1368 entries. false $ git rev-parse jch@{99999} || echo false fatal: Log for 'jch' only has 1368 entries. false Signed-off-by: Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@xxxxxxxxx> --- sha1_name.c | 11 +++++++---- 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/sha1_name.c b/sha1_name.c index 4af94fa..10a4efe 100644 --- a/sha1_name.c +++ b/sha1_name.c @@ -430,10 +430,13 @@ static int get_sha1_basic(const char *str, int len, unsigned char *sha1) "warning: Log for '%.*s' only goes " "back to %s.\n", len, str, show_date(co_time, co_tz, DATE_RFC2822)); - else - fprintf(stderr, - "warning: Log for '%.*s' only has " - "%d entries.\n", len, str, co_cnt); + else { + free(real_ref); + die("Log for '%.*s' only has %d entries.", + len, + str, + co_cnt); + } } } -- 1.7.2.1.100.gceecd -- 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
