From 2815326f095a1126fe9b099c311fdde8d7b7b591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=86var=20Arnfj=C3=B6r=C3=B0=20Bjarmason?= Date: Wed, 26 May 2021 13:21:06 +0200 Subject: send-email: don't needlessly abs_path() the core.hooksPath MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In c8243933c74 (git-send-email: Respect core.hooksPath setting, 2021-03-23) we started supporting core.hooksPath in "send-email". It's been reported that on Windows[1] doing this by calling abs_path() results in different canonicalizations of the absolute path. This wasn't an issue in c8243933c74 itself, but was revealed by my ea7811b37e0 (git-send-email: improve --validate error output, 2021-04-06) when we started emitting the path to the hook, which was previously only internal to git-send-email.perl. The just-landed 53753a37d09 (t9001-send-email.sh: fix expected absolute paths on Windows, 2021-05-24) narrowly fixed this issue, but I believe we can do better here. We should not be relying on whatever changes Perl's abs_path() makes to the path "rev-parse --git-path hooks" hands to us. Let's instead trust it, and hand it to Perl's system() in git-send-email.perl. It will handle either a relative or absolute path. So let's revert most of 53753a37d09 and just have "hooks_path" return what we get from "rev-parse" directly without modification. This has the added benefit of making the error message friendlier in the common case, we'll no longer print an absolute path for repository-local hook errors. 1. http://lore.kernel.org/git/bb30fe2b-cd75-4782-24a6-08bb002a0367@kdbg.org Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- perl/Git.pm | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'perl') diff --git a/perl/Git.pm b/perl/Git.pm index 73ebbf80cc..df6280ebab 100644 --- a/perl/Git.pm +++ b/perl/Git.pm @@ -629,8 +629,7 @@ sub hooks_path { my ($self) = @_; my $dir = $self->command_oneline('rev-parse', '--git-path', 'hooks'); - my $abs = abs_path($dir); - return $abs; + return $dir; } =item wc_path () -- cgit v1.2.3
