From: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Windows, absolute paths might start with a DOS drive prefix, which this check fails to recognize. Unfortunately, we cannot simply use the file_name_is_absolute helper in File::Spec::Functions, because Git for Windows has an MSYS-based Perl, where this helper doesn't grok DOS drive-prefixes. So let's manually check for these in that case, and fall back to the File::Spec-helper on other platforms (e.g Win32 with native Perl) Signed-off-by: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@xxxxxxxxx> --- Here's a patch that we've been running with a variation of in Git for Windows for a while. That version wasn't quite palatable, as it recognized DOS drive-prefixes on all platforms. git-send-email.perl | 14 +++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/git-send-email.perl b/git-send-email.perl index fdb0029..c4d85a7 100755 --- a/git-send-email.perl +++ b/git-send-email.perl @@ -1113,6 +1113,18 @@ sub ssl_verify_params { } } +sub file_name_is_absolute { + my ($path) = @_; + + # msys does not grok DOS drive-prefixes + if ($^O eq 'msys') { + return ($path =~ m#^/# || $path =~ m#[a-zA-Z]\:#) + } + + require File::Spec::Functions; + return File::Spec::Functions::file_name_is_absolute($path); +} + # Returns 1 if the message was sent, and 0 otherwise. # In actuality, the whole program dies when there # is an error sending a message. @@ -1197,7 +1209,7 @@ X-Mailer: git-send-email $gitversion if ($dry_run) { # We don't want to send the email. - } elsif ($smtp_server =~ m#^/#) { + } elsif (file_name_is_absolute($smtp_server)) { my $pid = open my $sm, '|-'; defined $pid or die $!; if (!$pid) { -- 1.9.0.msysgit.0 -- 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
