From 8d1675eb7f7f76af834c72e72c8824410e874fec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasil Dimov Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 20:32:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] range-diff: avoid negative string precision If the supplied integer for "precision" is negative in `"%.*s", len, line` then it is ignored. So the current code is equivalent to just `"%s", line` because it is executed only if `len` is negative. Fix this by saving the value of `len` before overwriting it with the return value of `parse_git_diff_header()`.
