Ok. The seek before Digest::MD5 can stay as it has been that way for a long time without causing problems. How about this as an replacement then? -- >8 -- [PATCH] Fix symlink handling in git-svn, related to PerlIO After reading the leading contents from a symlink data obtained from subversion, which we expect to begin with 'link ', the code forked to hash the remainder (which should match readlink() result) using git-hash-objects, by redirecting its STDIN from the filehandle we read that 'link ' from. This was Ok with Perl on modern Linux, but on Mac OS, the read in the parent process slurped more than we asked for in stdio buffer, and the child did not correctly see the "remainder". This attempts to fix the issue by using lower level sysseek and sysread instead of seek and read to bypass the stdio buffer.
