[PATCH v4 1/8] convert: Safer handling of $Id$ contraction.

From
Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) <grubba@grubba.org>
Date
Apr 6, 2010, 12:46 UTC
Message-ID
<e310bd4e1f1c797cc286044a4dbee0f12c1c90a0.1270554878.git.grubba@grubba.org>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1270554878.git.grubba@grubba.org>

The code to contract $Id:xxxxx$ strings could eat an arbitrary amount of source text if the terminating $ was lost. It now refuses to contract $Id:xxxxx$ strings spanning multiple lines.

Signed-off-by: Henrik Grubbström <grubba@grubba.org>
---
The behaviour implemented by the patch is in line with what other
VCSes that implement $Id$ do.
