From fbb7b31c456f4c950a744a93d8521e8ef0145038 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Sixt Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 09:00:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix invocation of external git commands with arguments with spaces. If an external git command (not a shell script) was invoked with arguments that contain spaces, these arguments would be split into separate arguments. They must be quoted. This also affected installations where $prefix contained a space, as in "C:\Program Files\GIT". Both errors can be triggered by invoking git hash-object "a b" where "a b" is an existing file. --- compat/mingw.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/compat/mingw.c b/compat/mingw.c index 6632192690..f2b0ad3428 100644 --- a/compat/mingw.c +++ b/compat/mingw.c @@ -298,7 +298,12 @@ void mingw_execve(const char *cmd, const char **argv, const char **env) { /* check if git_command is a shell script */ if (!try_shell_exec(cmd, argv, env)) { - int ret = spawnve(_P_WAIT, cmd, argv, env); + const char **qargv; + int n; + for (n = 0; argv[n];) n++; + qargv = xmalloc((n+1)*sizeof(char*)); + quote_argv(qargv, argv); + int ret = spawnve(_P_WAIT, cmd, qargv, env); if (ret != -1) exit(ret); }
