[PATCH v4 30/32] resolve_symlink(): take a strbuf parameter

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

 



Change resolve_symlink() to take a strbuf rather than a string as
parameter.  This simplifies the code and removes an arbitrary pathname
length restriction.  It also means that lock_file's filename field no
longer needs to be initialized to a large size.
