@sb: Thank you for the investigation, 'svn annotate' has confused me. Indeed,
the approach looks to be there from the very beginning of ucb, it was moved from
chaos project.
The ftruncate() call here looks to be for the case when the target file can be
overwritten. In this case the target file is not truncated before writing.
Instead, the new information is written and afterwards the expected size is set
to throw away the rest of old data ( in case the old file was bigger that the
new version ). It does not look to be really necessary for the new file
insertion.
Anyway, ftruncate() is a very important functionality, and must be supported.
The current implementation is partially based on this call. If an operational
system does not support it completely, some office functionalities would not
work.
Changing the priority accordingly. The bug is not about not using ftruncate at
all, the bug is about not using it in case of new file creation without
overwriting.
