Subject: Make 'diff_populate_filespec()' use the new 'strbuf_readlink()'
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.1-rc4~20^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf219d8c68ada1aa2855f4862f15753a32d09641;p=git.git

Make 'diff_populate_filespec()' use the new 'strbuf_readlink()'

This makes all tests pass on a system where 'lstat()' has been hacked to
return bogus data in st_size for symlinks.

Of course, the test coverage isn't complete, but it's a good baseline.
