Changes since version 6: a) The patch-split was not correct for patch 3/3. In v6 it could look like the lines: - char path[PATH_MAX]; + char path[PATH_MAX + 1]; was a random bugfix. In this version for patch 3/5 we also change "&& last_slash < PATH_MAX" into "&& last_slash <= PATH_MAX" (and similar for the else-if part). This could also make the intro- duction of the 'FL_FULLPATH' flag more readable for this patch. b) Cleanup and added 3 comments to 'greatest_match_lstat_cache()' c) Introduction of the 'invalidate_lstat_cache()' function. How does the interface look? good? bad? Does the function do what people expect it to do? d) Reintroduction of the 'clear_lstat_cache()' function. Junio, I hope it is possible to use patches 1/5, 2/5 and 3/5 from this version instead of 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 from version 6, for the possible future in origin/pu? See also a) above. Thanks in advance! In general, are we allowed to redesign the patch-series while the patches is inside origin/pu?
