From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 00:14:13 GMT Subject: Fix silly pathspec bug in git-ls-files Message-ID: The "verify_pathspec()" function doesn't test for ending NUL character in the pathspec, causing some really funky and unexpected behaviour. It just happened to work in the cases I had tested.
