It always makes me wonder if it is something similar to strcasecmp(), but in fact it is not. It is meant to be used *only* for pathnames; pathname_cmp() or something that has "path" in its name would be appropriate, but it is wrong to call it "str"-anything. > @@ -344,6 +344,7 @@ static void link_alt_odb_entries(const char *alt, int len, int sep, > struct string_list entries = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP; > char *alt_copy; > int i; > + struct strbuf objdirbuf = STRBUF_INIT; > > if (depth > 5) { > error("%s: ignoring alternate object stores, nesting too deep.", > @@ -351,6 +352,9 @@ static void link_alt_odb_entries(const char *alt, int len, int sep, > return; > } > > + strbuf_addstr(&objdirbuf, absolute_path(get_object_directory())); > + normalize_path_copy(objdirbuf.buf, objdirbuf.buf); This is somewhat a strange usage of a strbuf. - it relies on that normalize_path_copy() only shrinks, never lengthens, which is not too bad; - if the operation ever shrinks, objdirbuf.len becomes meaningless. The allocated length is objdirbuf.alloc, length of the string is strlen(objdirbuf.buf). - abspath.c::absolute_path() is still restricted to PATH_MAX, so you are not gaining much by using strbuf here. But at least this patch is not making things any worse, so.... > @@ -361,11 +365,12 @@ static void link_alt_odb_entries(const char *alt, int len, int sep, > error("%s: ignoring relative alternate object store %s", > relative_base, entry); > } else { > - link_alt_odb_entry(entry, relative_base, depth); > + link_alt_odb_entry(entry, relative_base, depth, objdirbuf.buf); > } > } > string_list_clear(&entries, 0); > free(alt_copy); > + strbuf_release(&objdirbuf); > } > > void read_info_alternates(const char * relative_base, int depth) > diff --git a/t/t7702-repack-cyclic-alternate.sh b/t/t7702-repack-cyclic-alternate.sh > new file mode 100755 > index 0000000..8341d46 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/t/t7702-repack-cyclic-alternate.sh Do we really have to waste a new test file only for this test? Don't we have any test that already uses alternate that these two new test pieces can be added to? $ git grep info/alternates t/ seems to show a few existing ones, including 1450 (fsck) and 7700 (repack) that look very relevant (I didn't check what the tests in them are about, though). -- 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
