Backport for Gentoo patch-2.7.x. https://bugs.gentoo.org/664640 Original patch: Author: Lubomir Rintel Date: Tue Feb 27 16:52:00 2018 +0100 Subject: Fix error handling with git-style patches When an error is encountered in output_files(), the subsequent call to cleanup() calls back into output_files() resulting in an infinte recursion. This is trivially reproduced with a git-style patch (which utilizes output_file_later()) that tries to patch a nonexistent or unreadable file (see attached test case). * src/patch.c: (output_files) clear the files_to_output list before iterating it, so that recursive calls won't iterate the same files. * tests/git-error: New test case. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test case.
