This fixes a problem my repository mirroring script has been having since the git-fetch--tool was added to master in the middle of March. However, it is not a proper fix since it causes actual errors from snprintf() to be ignored. A proper fix is complicated by the lack of a consistent indicator that the buffer is too small across snprintf() implementations. builtin-fetch--tool.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin-fetch--tool.c b/builtin-fetch--tool.c index e9d6764..173dd4f 100644 --- a/builtin-fetch--tool.c +++ b/builtin-fetch--tool.c @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ static int update_ref(const char *action, rla = "(reflog update)"; len = snprintf(msg, sizeof(msg), "%s: %s", rla, action); if (sizeof(msg) <= len) - die("insanely long action"); + msg[sizeof(msg)-1] = '\0'; lock = lock_any_ref_for_update(refname, oldval); if (!lock) return 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
