From 451ce8bb491978fd85e8ec4f4f3d585d852265fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karsten Blees Date: Sat, 16 May 2015 01:11:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Win32: lstat(): return adequate stat.st_size for symlinks Git typically doesn't trust the stat.st_size member of symlinks (e.g. see strbuf_readlink()). However, some functions take shortcuts if st_size is 0 (e.g. diff_populate_filespec()). In mingw_lstat() and fscache_lstat(), make sure to return an adequate size. The extra overhead of opening and reading the reparse point to calculate the exact size is not necessary, as git doesn't rely on the value anyway.
