* Make ref resolution sanerLinus Torvalds2006-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old code used to totally mix up the notion of a ref-name and the path that that ref was associated with. That was not only horribly ugly (a number of users got the path, and then wanted to try to turn it back into a ref-name again), but it fundamnetally doesn't work at all once we do any setup where a ref doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a particular pathname. This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem. That makes a lot of things much clearer and more straightforward. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Replace uses of strdup with xstrdup.Shawn Pearce2006-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a valid pointer. I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing. However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are already commonly used throughout the code. [jc: removed the part that deals with last_XXX, which I am finding more and more dubious these days.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
