This reminds me. In the longer term, we should make this "CE_NAMEMASK gives the real length for sane names but otherwise we need to count" merely a property of the on-disk index structure. In-core index should gain a new ce_namelen field that records the real name (even when it is longer than the mask would permit). IOW, the knowledge of CE_NAMEMASK should be confined to read_index_from() and ce_write_entry(). I expect this to be a relatively easy janitor project; hint, hint... -- 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
