Technically, the tests pass anyway due to the fallback behavior mentioned in the commit message, but this is a really good point. It looks like the call to submodule_path_match() from builtin/grep.c is going to be passing name without the trailing '/', which is contrary to how read_directory_recursive() in dir.c builds up paths (namely with the trailing '/'). If we tried to force consistency (either always omit the trailing slash or always include it), then we'd probably want to do so for match_pathspec() calls as well, and there are lots of those throughout the code and auditing it all looks painful. So I should probably make the check handle both cases: @@ -383,8 +383,9 @@ static int match_pathspec_item(const struct pathspec_item *item, int prefix, /* Perform checks to see if "name" is a super set of the pathspec */ if (flags & DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC) { /* name is a literal prefix of the pathspec */ + int offset = name[namelen-1] == '/' ? 1 : 0; if ((namelen < matchlen) && - (match[namelen] == '/') && + (match[namelen-offset] == '/') && !ps_strncmp(item, match, name, namelen)) return MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC;
