From e7676d2f6454c9c99e600ee2ce3c7205a9fcfb5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 12:03:15 -0700 Subject: Allow multiple "git_path()" uses This allows you to maintain a few filesystem pathnames concurrently, by simply replacing the single static "pathname" buffer with a LRU of four buffers. We did exactly the same thing with sha1_to_hex(), for pretty much exactly the same reason. Sometimes you want to use two pathnames, and while it's easy enough to xstrdup() them, why not just do the LU buffer thing.
