* get_sha1_hex(): do not read past a NUL characterMichael Haggerty2011-10-051-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, get_sha1_hex() would read one character past the end of a null-terminated string whose strlen was an even number less than 40. Although the function correctly returned -1 in these cases, the extra memory access might have been to uninitialized (or even, conceivably, unallocated) memory. Add a check to avoid reading past the end of a string. This problem was discovered by Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> using valgrind.

* slim down "git show-index"Linus Torvalds2010-01-211-0/+67
As the documentation says, this is primarily for debugging, and in the longer term we should rename it to test-show-index or something. In the meantime, just avoid xmalloc (which slurps in the rest of git), and separating out the trivial hex functions into "hex.o". This results in [torvalds@nehalem git]$ size git-show-index text data bss dec hex filename 222818 2276 112688 337782 52776 git-show-index (before) 5696 624 1264 7584 1da0 git-show-index (after) which is a whole lot better.
