[PATCH] commit: fix pretty-printing of messages with "\nencoding "

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

 



The function replace_encoding_header is given the whole
commit buffer, including the commit message. When looking
for the encoding header, if none was found in the header, it
would locate any line in the commit message matching
"\nencoding " and remove it.

Instead, we now make sure to search only to the end of the
header.

You can see the bug by doing this:
  git-commit -m 'encoding foo'
  git-show
and getting a blank log message (unless, of course, you're using a
non-utf8 commit encoding, in which case you will actually have an
encoding header).

I wonder, though, if this function before or after is actually correct;
if there is no encoding header, we exit the function immediately. But if
we are changing the encoding from utf8 to a non-utf8 value, we
presumably should continue and actually insert the new encoding header.

The searching could potentially be refactored to share code with
get_header; however, either the interface gets a little hairy, or you
have to repeat a few strlen()s, and I seem to recall a recent effort to
reduce such calls in critical paths (which I think this probably is).
The implementation here isn't ugly, anyway.
