Subject: add--interactive: quote commentChar regex
X-Git-Tag: v2.13.3~19^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d85d7ecb80ebc93f7380b4196c303756ee051668;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

add--interactive: quote commentChar regex

Since c9d961647 (i18n: add--interactive: mark
edit_hunk_manually message for translation, 2016-12-14),
when the user asks to edit a hunk manually, we respect
core.commentChar in generating the edit instructions.
However, when we then strip out comment lines, we use a
simple regex like:

  /^$commentChar/

If your chosen comment character is a regex metacharacter,
then that will behave in a confusing manner ("$", for
instance, would only eliminate blank lines, not actual
comment lines).

We can fix that by telling perl not to respect
metacharacters.
