With certain combinations of author name and email lengths, git format-patch does not correctly wrap the From line to be below 78 characters, violating rfc2047. This happens because pp_user_info in pretty.c use add_rfc2047 (which wraps) for the name, but strbuf_add (which does not wrap) for the email part. Here's a test that illustrate the problem: diff --git a/t/t4014-format-patch.sh b/t/t4014-format-patch.sh index 9c66367..a4b8b59 100755 --- a/t/t4014-format-patch.sh +++ b/t/t4014-format-patch.sh @@ -793,4 +793,19 @@ test_expect_success 'format-patch wraps extremely long headers (rfc2047)' ' test_cmp expect subject ' +M8="foo_bar_" +M64=$M8$M8$M8$M8$M8$M8$M8$M8 +cat >expect <<'EOF' +From: foo_bar_foo_bar_foo_bar_foo_bar_foo_bar_foo_bar_foo_bar_foo_bar + <foobar@xxxxxxx> +EOF +test_expect_success 'format-patch wraps non-quotable headers' ' + rm -rf patches/ && + echo content >>file && + git add file && + git commit -mfoo --author "$M64 <foobar@xxxxxxx>" && + git format-patch --stdout -1 >patch && + sed -n "/^From: /p; /^ /p; /^$/q" <patch >from && + test_cmp expect from +' test_done -- 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
