From 64589a03a8ffb3eb4fb2ff8f416ff638a9aaa439 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2011 13:22:24 -0500 Subject: attr: read core.attributesfile from git_default_core_config This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by another function since the second call to git_config may reset some variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden. The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it _would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior. So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main config file parser. Which is only the logical thing to do ;-) Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- cache.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'cache.h') diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 607c2ea612..8d95fb25a2 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -589,6 +589,7 @@ extern int warn_ambiguous_refs; extern int shared_repository; extern const char *apply_default_whitespace; extern const char *apply_default_ignorewhitespace; +extern const char *git_attributes_file; extern int zlib_compression_level; extern int core_compression_level; extern int core_compression_seen; -- cgit v1.3
