From 93256315b2444601a35484f4fb76cd5723284201 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2005 16:48:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make a hack to convert-cache for missing author dates in old archives (notably the old sparse one). Very hacky. But hopefully we can do the conversion once, and never worry about this ever again. --- convert-cache.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/convert-cache.c b/convert-cache.c index 35191dffa..312fb61c8 100644 --- a/convert-cache.c +++ b/convert-cache.c @@ -233,6 +233,13 @@ static int convert_date_line(char *dst, void **buf, unsigned long *sp) return len + datelen; } + /* + * Hacky hacky: one of the sparse old-style commits does not have + * any date at all, but we can fake it by using the committer date. + */ + if (*date == '\n' && strchr(next, '>')) + date = strchr(next, '>')+2; + return len + sprintf(dst, "%lu -0700\n", parse_oldstyle_date(date)); } -- 2.26.2
