Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/6] hex: allow specifying hex type with hex2chr
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 23:32:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729233215.398654-3-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729233215.398654-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

We have several places where we use hex2chr.  One of those is parsing
object IDs, but others decode quoted-printable or percent encoding.  All
of them accept both uppercase and lowercase hex.

In a future commit, we'll change some of these cases, so make hex2chr
accept the kind of encoding to use: lowercase only hex or any kind of
hex.
