Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] sha1_file: remove a buggy value setting
Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 18:24:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1315304645-12009-3-git-send-email-Hui.Wang@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1315304645-12009-2-git-send-email-Hui.Wang@windriver.com>

From: Hui Wang <Hui.Wang@windriver.com>

The ent->base[] is a character array, it has pfxlen characters from
position 0 to (pfxlen-1) to contain an alt object dir name, the
position pfxlen should be the string terminating character '\0' and
is deliberately set to '\0' at the previous code line. The position
(pfxlen+1) is given to ent->name.

>From above analysis, there is no reason to set ent->base[pfxlen] to
'/' at the end of this function, first it doesn't make sense to append
a '/' at the end of a dir name, second if you are not lucky that the
ent->base[pfxlen+1] is not 0, you will get a wrong alt object dir
name.
