At least the Samba repository has an extra space after the author's email for some commits. This breaks builtin-fast-export as that format is required to have only a single space. This removes double spaces in committer and author lines. --- This is an ugly hack and obviously not meant for application (which is why I didn't sign it off). The Samba thing can be seen by running: git cat-file commit 65968b294351d2612d1bf94236d1fcbf853c494e It produces "author Samba Release Account <samba-bugs@xxxxxxxxx> 831196245 +0000" The git-fast-import syntax says there can only be a single space after the > sign. This Samba commit breaks bzr-fast-import, for example. I'm not sure how to properly fix the problem, as I'm not very deep into Git's code. I included this patch in case anyone else has the same problem and wants a quick fix. I'm also not sure if it's a fast-export problem, or if the Samba repository is just invalid :) - Pieter diff --git a/builtin-fast-export.c b/builtin-fast-export.c index 1dfc01e..8218199 100755 --- a/builtin-fast-export.c +++ b/builtin-fast-export.c @@ -144,6 +144,24 @@ static const char *find_encoding(const char *begin, const char *end) return bol; } +static void parse_line(char **begin, char **end) +{ + char *b = *begin; + char *e = *end; + + char *line = xmalloc((e - b) * sizeof(char)); + *begin = line; + char prev = 0; + + for (; b < e; b++) { + if (!(prev == ' ' && *b == ' ')) + *line++ = *b; + prev = *b; + } + + *end = line; +} + static void handle_commit(struct commit *commit, struct rev_info *rev) { int saved_output_format = rev->diffopt.output_format; @@ -163,11 +181,14 @@ static void handle_commit(struct commit *commit, struct rev_info *rev) author++; author_end = strchrnul(author, '\n'); committer = strstr(author_end, "\ncommitter "); + parse_line(&author, &author_end); + if (!committer) die ("Could not find committer in commit %s", sha1_to_hex(commit->object.sha1)); committer++; committer_end = strchrnul(committer, '\n'); + parse_line(&committer, &committer_end); message = strstr(committer_end, "\n\n"); encoding = find_encoding(committer_end, message); if (message) @@ -214,6 +235,8 @@ static void handle_commit(struct commit *commit, struct rev_info *rev) printf("\n"); + free(committer); + free(author); show_progress(); } -- 1.5.6.rc0.163.g26db5e.dirty -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
