I never meant to take _exactly_ the code as in Plan9 / 9front btw. I only knew he was doing the work already, and did so over so several years, so there is experience. Likely the code that accesses git's objects/ as such is pretty lean / portable. Maybe even he would have been willing to port the extract to POSIX so that for example "xy HASH" searches in . and cats a blob content to stdout, you know. Hey, it seems his qpath() even uses Torek's hash! Here you have the BSD link you are missing. :) A nice Sunday everyone whoeever can, and others even more. --steffen |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) | |In Fall and Winter, feel "The Dropbear Bard"s pint(er). |The banded bear |without a care, |Banged on himself for e'er and e'er |Farewell, dear collar bear ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T16a2bbbe7794d5cd-Md1ac2b7aa5c63ae14a373d41 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
