[PATCH] diff-no-index.c: rewrote read_directory() to use is_dot_or_dotdot() function.

2014-03-19 Thread Andrei Dinu
is_dot_or_dotdot() verifies if the name of the directory sent as parameter to 
this function is the same with '.' or '..' and returns 0 if that is true.

There is unnecessary to iterate each character of the char* argument and verify 
it with strcmp because if there is a match that is at the beginning of chars.

Thanks for the submission. Comments below to give you a taste of the
Git review process...

Use imperative tone: rewrite instead of rewrote. The subject is a
bit long. Try to keep it to 65-70 characters. You might instead say:

diff-no-index: replace manual ./.. check with is_dot_or_dotdot()

 is_dot_or_dotdot() verifies if the name of the directory sent as parameter to 
 this function is the same with '.' or '..' and returns 0 if that is true.

Wrap commit message to 65-70 characters.

 There is unnecessary to iterate each character of the char* argument and 
 verify it with strcmp because if there is a match that is at the beginning of 
 chars.

You may be able to drop most or all of this text. A subject such as
the one suggested above probably conveys enough information to explain
and justify the patch without having to say anything more.

Git already defines an is_dot_or_dotdot() function. Is there a reason
you chose to implement your own?

It is very unusual for a function asking is this true to return
false when the condition is true, and vice versa. It is not a good
idea to break expectations in this fashion.
