From 7824417dc699c86ca01b608fd2f244211644291f 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.
