We still need to calculate the length to compare, which could be problematic when utf-8 is involved, or some other encoding. If we always split at '/' boundary though (e.g. "abc/def/ghi", "def/ghi" or "ghi" but never "ef/ghi") then it should be ok. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
