(Grumble ... unnecessary obfuscated nested if.)
This code will leave the mutex in an invalid state, which is never a
good idea. It would be a lot better to check the count before
decrementing it:
if (mutex->checked)
{
if (0 >= mutex->count)
return svn_error_create(...);
--mutex_count;
}
This made me look at the mutex implementation and ... let's just say
that it's less than efficient? Why do we need a lock counter that can
only have the values 0 and 1 (not counting the obvious bug in the
current code)?
