From 2c71810b90d122abdcc57fc3cb62174d16e77b58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 22:47:25 -0700 Subject: git-apply: applying a patch to make a symlink shorter. The internal representation of the result is counted string (i.e. char *buf and ulong size), which is fine for writing out to regular file, but throwing the buf at symlink(2) was a no-no. Reported by Willy Tarreau.
