[PATCH v2 1/4] apply: reject input that touches outside $cwd

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

 



By default, a patch that affects outside the working area is
rejected as a mistake (or a mischief); Git itself does not create
such a patch, unless the user bends backwards and specifies a
non-standard prefix to "git diff" and friends.

When `git apply` is used without either `--index` or `--cached`
option as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass `--unsafe-paths`
option to override this safety check.  This cannot be used to escape
outside the working tree when using `--index` or `--cached` to apply
the patch to the index.

The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
