[PATCH v4 1/2] format-patch: create leading components of output directory

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

 



'git format-patch -o <outdir>' did an equivalent of 'mkdir <outdir>'
not 'mkdir -p <outdir>', which is being corrected.

Avoid the usage of 'adjust_shared_perm' on the leading directories which
may have security implications. Achieved by temporarily disabling of
'config.sharedRepository' like 'git init' does.

Changes in v2:
 * squashed and base new tests on 'dl/format-patch-doc-test-cleanup'

Changes in v3:
 * avoid applying adjust_shared_perm

Changes in v4:
 * based on dl/format-patch-doc-test-cleanup and adopt it
