Substitute the function path_relative in quote.c with the function
relative_path. Function relative_path can be treated as an enhanced
and more robust version of path_relative.
Outputs of path_relative and it's replacement (relative_path) are the
same for the following cases:
path prefix output of path_relative output of relative_path
======== ========= ======================= =======================
/a/b/c/ /a/b/ c/ c/
/a/b/c /a/b/ c c
/a/ /a/b/ ../ ../
/ /a/b/ ../../ ../../
/a/c /a/b/ ../c ../c
/x/y /a/b/ ../../x/y ../../x/y
a/b/c/ a/b/ c/ c/
a/ a/b/ ../ ../
x/y a/b/ ../../x/y ../../x/y
/a/b (empty) /a/b /a/b
/a/b (null) /a/b /a/b
a/b (empty) a/b a/b
a/b (null) a/b a/b
But if both of the path and the prefix are the same, or the returned
relative path should be the current directory, the outputs of both
functions are different. Function relative_path returns "./", while
function path_relative returns empty string.
path prefix output of path_relative output of relative_path
======== ========= ======================= =======================
/a/b/ /a/b/ (empty) ./
a/b/ a/b/ (empty) ./
(empty) (null) (empty) ./
(empty) (empty) (empty) ./
But the callers of path_relative can handle such cases, or never
encounter this issue at all, because:
* In function quote_path_relative, if the output of path_relative is
empty, append "./" to it, like:
if (!out->len)
strbuf_addstr(out, "./");
* Another caller is write_name_quoted_relative, which is only used
by builtin/ls-files.c. git-ls-files only show files, so path of
files will never be identical with the prefix of a directory.
The following differences show that path_relative does not handle
extra slashes properly:
path prefix output of path_relative output of relative_path
======== ========= ======================= =======================
/a//b//c/ //a/b// ../../../../a//b//c/ c/
a/b//c a//b ../b//c c
And if prefix has no trailing slash, path_relative does not work
properly either. But since prefix always has a trailing slash, it's
not a problem.
path prefix output of path_relative output of relative_path
======== ========= ======================= =======================
/a/b/c/ /a/b b/c/ c/
/a/b /a/b b ./
/a/b/ /a/b b/ ./
/a /a/b/ ../../a ../
a/b/c/ a/b b/c/ c/
a/b/ a/b b/ ./
a a/b ../a ../
x/y a/b/ ../x/y ../../x/y
a/c a/b c ../c
/a/ /a/b (empty) ../
(empty) /a/b ../../ ./
One tricky part in this conversion is write_name() function in
ls-files.c. It takes a counted string, <name, len>, that is to be
made relative to <prefix, prefix_len> and then quoted. Because
write_name_quoted_relative() still takes these two parameters as
counted string, but ignores the count and treat these two as
NUL-terminated strings, this conversion needs to be audited for its
callers:
- For <name, len>, all three callers of write_name() passes a
NUL-terminated string and its true length, so this patch makes
"len" unused.
- For <prefix, prefix_len>, prefix could be a string that is longer
than empty while prefix_len could be 0 when "--full-name" option
is used. This is fixed by checking prefix_len in write_name()
and calling write_name_quoted_relative() with NULL when
prefix_len is set to 0. Again, this makes "prefix_len" given to
write_name_quoted_relative() unused, without introducing a bug.
