[PATCH v7 2/4] difftool: refactor dir-diff to write files using helper functions

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

 



Add a helpers function to handle the unlinking and writing
of the dir-diff submodule and symlink stand-in files.

Use the helpers to implement the guts of the hashmap loops.
This eliminate duplicate code and safeguards the submodules
hashmap loop against the symlink-chasing behavior that 5bafb3576a
(difftool: fix symlink-file writing in dir-diff mode, 2021-09-22)
addressed.

The submodules loop should not strictly require the unlink() call that
this is introducing to them, but it does not necessarily hurt them
either beyond the cost of the extra unlink().
