[PATCH] git-cvsserver: allow regex metacharacters in CVSROOT

Gerrit Pape· Jan 26, 2010, 14:47 UTC · lore

When run in a repository with a path name containing regex metacharacters (e.g. +), git-cvsserver failed to split the client request into CVSROOT and module. Now metacharacters are disabled for the value of CVSROOT in the perl regex so that directory names containing metacharacters are handled properly.
