[PATCH] merge-file: correctly open files when in a subdir

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

 



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.

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.
