run_setup_gently() is called before merge-file. This may result in changing current working directory, which wasn't taken into account when opening a file for writing. Fix by prepending the passed prefix. Previous var is left so that error messages keep referring to the file from the user's working directory perspective. Signed-off-by: Aleksander Boruch-Gruszecki <aleksander.boruchgruszecki@xxxxxxxxx> --- I'm sorry if I'm sending the copies to wrong people, but I had no idea who to send them to since there were barely any changes to the file. Since the fix is so trivial I didn't add any tests, but I can create some if they're needed. builtin/merge-file.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/builtin/merge-file.c b/builtin/merge-file.c index 844f84f..232b768 100644 --- a/builtin/merge-file.c +++ b/builtin/merge-file.c @@ -90,7 +90,8 @@ int cmd_merge_file(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) if (ret >= 0) { const char *filename = argv[0]; - FILE *f = to_stdout ? stdout : fopen(filename, "wb"); + const char *fpath = prefix_filename(prefix, prefixlen, argv[0]); + FILE *f = to_stdout ? stdout : fopen(fpath, "wb"); if (!f) ret = error("Could not open %s for writing", filename); -- 1.9.1 -- 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
