From c10002f2dfd9a39519bc0d8090f4ed52e5f90e4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karsten Blees Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 22:15:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] strbuf_readlink: support link targets that exceed PATH_MAX strbuf_readlink() refuses to read link targets that exceed PATH_MAX (even if a sufficient size was specified by the caller). As some platforms support longer paths, remove this restriction (similar to strbuf_getcwd()).
