As Mark Burton noted, the conversion to strbuf_readlink() caused a compile warning on some architectures: > diff.c: In function ‘diff_populate_filespec’: > diff.c:1781: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘strbuf_detach’ from incompatible pointer type A pointer to an unsigned long is given while a pointer to a size_t is expected; the two types are not considered to be equivalent everywhere. The real fix would be to change the type of the size member of struct diff_filespec to size_t, but that would cause other warnings in connection with functions expecting unsigned long, and attempts to fix them might loose an avalanche of changes. Later. This patch just silences the warning by adding an (implicit) casting step.
