I have come across many emails that use long strings of '-'s as separators for ideas. This patch below limits the separator to only 3 '-', with the intent that long string of '-'s will stay in the commit msg and not in the patch file. Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I purposedly separated this patch out because I wasn't sure if anyone would have objections to it. I tested it on numerous emails with and with patches and didn't see any issues. Update: compiled and tested with my test mbox (~1200 emails). output is identical to the previous patch. --- builtin-mailinfo.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin-mailinfo.c b/builtin-mailinfo.c index 0532003..7b04179 100644 --- a/builtin-mailinfo.c +++ b/builtin-mailinfo.c @@ -644,6 +644,39 @@ again: return (fgets(line, sizeof(line), fin) != NULL); } +static inline int patchbreak(const char *line) +{ + /* Beginning of a "diff -" header? */ + if (!memcmp("diff -", line, 6)) + return 1; + + /* CVS "Index: " line? */ + if (!memcmp("Index: ", line, 7)) + return 1; + + /* + * "--- <filename>" starts patches without headers + * "---<sp>*" is a manual separator + */ + if (!memcmp("---", line, 3)) { + line += 3; + /* space followed by a filename? */ + if (line[0] == ' ' && !isspace(line[1])) + return 1; + /* Just whitespace? */ + for (;;) { + unsigned char c = *line++; + if (c == '\n') + return 1; + if (!isspace(c)) + break; + } + return 0; + } + return 0; +} + + static int handle_commit_msg(char *line) { static int still_looking=1; @@ -665,9 +698,7 @@ static int handle_commit_msg(char *line) return 0; } - if (!memcmp("diff -", line, 6) || - !memcmp("---", line, 3) || - !memcmp("Index: ", line, 7)) { + if (patchbreak(line)) { fclose(cmitmsg); cmitmsg = NULL; return 1; -- 1.5.0.2.213.g23f4-dirty - 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
