The stuff goes through make_absolute_path() so we must be certain that this has to be a local filesystem entity _if_ it is a repository. But when will we see a file at repo_name in this new codepath? In what situation would get_repo_path(repo_name, &is_bundle) return NULL but the added file_exists(repo_name) would yield true to bypess your die()? If repo_name is a directory, or a regular file, get_repo_path() would give us a relative path to it, no? IOW, wouldn't the fix be more like this? Your new test script seems to pass with this. diff --git a/builtin/clone.c b/builtin/clone.c index 60d9a64..2ee1fa9 100644 --- a/builtin/clone.c +++ b/builtin/clone.c @@ -413,7 +413,7 @@ int cmd_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) if (path) repo = xstrdup(make_nonrelative_path(repo_name)); else if (!strchr(repo_name, ':')) - repo = xstrdup(make_absolute_path(repo_name)); + die("repository '%s' does not exist", repo_name); else repo = repo_name; is_local = path && !is_bundle; -- 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
