[PATCH] Define constants for lengths of object names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Using preprocessor constants rather than hardcoded numbers is considered a
good programming practice.  Provide two constants, GIT_OID_RAWSZ and
GIT_OID_HEXSZ, which are the lengths of an SHA-1 object name in bytes and
hex digits, respectively.  These names are the same as those used by
libgit2.
