Whenever skip_prefix_defval() was called, opt was still equal to *opt_p. So we can use skip_prefix_if_present() instead. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty mhag...@alum.mit.edu --- diff.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index d629cc5

[PATCH 0/3] Add a function skip_prefix_if_present()

2014-02-04 Thread Michael Haggerty
These patches apply on top of gitster/nd/more-skip-prefix. I noticed that Duy's new function skip_prefix_defval() was mostly being called with its first and third arguments the same. So introduce a function skip_prefix_if_present() that implements this pattern. Michael Haggerty (3): Add

[PATCH 1/3] Add and use a function skip_prefix_if_present()

2014-02-04 Thread Michael Haggerty
Most of the calls to skip_prefix_defval() had equal first and third arguments, with the effect of skipping the prefix if present, but otherwise returning the original string. So define a new function that does exactly that. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty mhag...@alum.mit.edu --- builtin
