Introduce set_index_file() to be able to temporarily change the index file.
It should be used like this: /* Save current index file */ old_index_file = get_index_file(); set_index_file((char *)tmp_index_file); /* Do stuff that will use tmp_index_file as the index file */ ... /* When finished reset the index file */ set_index_file(old_index_file); Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chrisc...@tuxfamily.org> --- cache.h | 1 + environment.c | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 81d4ac3..28fc0bf 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -461,6 +461,7 @@ extern int is_inside_work_tree(void); extern const char *get_git_dir(void); extern const char *get_git_common_dir(void); extern char *get_object_directory(void); +extern void set_index_file(char *index_file); extern char *get_index_file(void); extern char *get_graft_file(void); extern int set_git_dir(const char *path); diff --git a/environment.c b/environment.c index ca72464..7a53799 100644 --- a/environment.c +++ b/environment.c @@ -292,6 +292,16 @@ int odb_pack_keep(char *name, size_t namesz, const unsigned char *sha1) return open(name, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600); } +/* + * Temporarily change the index file. + * Please save the current index file using get_index_file() before changing + * the index file.
