From 47fc52e2876ed3a54cd4b77e0b0c4875fa3317b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 17:49:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] create_symref(): do not assume pathname from git_path() persists long enough Being lazy to rely on the cycling N buffers mkpath() and friends return is nice in general, but it makes it too easy to introduce new bugs that are "mysterious". Introduction of read_ref() in create_symref() after calling git_path() to get the git_HEAD value (i.e. the path to create a new symref at) consumed more than the available buffers and broke a later call to mkpath() that derives lockpath from it.
