2008-10-06fix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+21
When "git diff --no-index" is given an absolute pathname, it would generate a diff header with the absolute path prepended by the prefix, like: diff --git a/dev/null b/foo Not only is this nonsensical, and not only does it violate the description of diffs given in git-diff(1), but it would produce broken binary diffs. Unlike text diffs, the binary diffs don't contain the filenames anywhere else, and so "git apply" relies on this header to figure out the filename. This patch just refuses to use an invalid name for anything visible in the diff. Now, this fixes the "git diff --no-index --binary a /dev/null" kind of case (and we'll end up using "a" as the basename), but some other insane cases are impossible to handle. If you do git diff --no-index --binary a /bin/echo you'll still get a patch like diff --git a/a b/bin/echo old mode 100644 new mode 100755 index ... and "git apply" will refuse to apply it for a couple of reasons, and the diff is simply bogus. And that, btw, is no longer a bug, I think. It's impossible to know whethe the user meant for the patch to be a rename or not. And as such, refusing to apply it because you don't know what name you should use is probably _exactly_ the right thing to do! Original problem reported by Imre Deak.

2006-05-25tests: Remove heredoc usage inside quotesLibravatar Eric Wong1-11/+6
The use of heredoc inside quoted strings doesn't seem to be supported by dash. pdksh seems to handle it fine, however. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
