expand_show_tree() borrows the base strbuf given to us by read_tree() to build the full path of the current entry when handling %(path). Only its indirect caller, show_tree_fmt(), removes the added entry name. That works fine as long as %(path) is only included once in the format string, but accumulates duplicates if it's repeated: $ git ls-tree --format='%(path) %(path) %(path)' HEAD M* Makefile MakefileMakefile MakefileMakefileMakefile Reset the length after each use to get the same expansion every time; here's the behavior with this patch: $ ./git ls-tree --format='%(path) %(path) %(path)' HEAD M* Makefile Makefile Makefile Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@xxxxxx> --- builtin/ls-tree.c | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/ls-tree.c b/builtin/ls-tree.c index c3ea09281a..120fff9fa0 100644 --- a/builtin/ls-tree.c +++ b/builtin/ls-tree.c @@ -98,9 +98,11 @@ static size_t expand_show_tree(struct strbuf *sb, const char *start, const char *prefix = chomp_prefix ? ls_tree_prefix : NULL; struct strbuf quoted = STRBUF_INIT; struct strbuf sbuf = STRBUF_INIT; + size_t baselen = data->base->len; strbuf_addstr(data->base, data->pathname); name = relative_path(data->base->buf, prefix, &sbuf); quote_c_style(name, "ed, NULL, 0); + strbuf_setlen(data->base, baselen); strbuf_addbuf(sb, "ed); strbuf_release(&sbuf); strbuf_release("ed); @@ -144,7 +146,6 @@ static int show_recursive(const char *base, size_t baselen, const char *pathname static int show_tree_fmt(const struct object_id *oid, struct strbuf *base, const char *pathname, unsigned mode, void *context UNUSED) { - size_t baselen; int recurse = 0; struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT; enum object_type type = object_type(mode); @@ -164,12 +165,10 @@ static int show_tree_fmt(const struct object_id *oid, struct strbuf *base, if (type == OBJ_BLOB && (ls_options & LS_TREE_ONLY)) return 0; - baselen = base->len; strbuf_expand(&sb, format, expand_show_tree, &data); strbuf_addch(&sb, line_termination); fwrite(sb.buf, sb.len, 1, stdout); strbuf_release(&sb); - strbuf_setlen(base, baselen); return recurse; } -- 2.39.0
