I have noticed that the variable "show_early_output" gets a value assigned only at a few places in the source code. I wonder that the set pointer is only used by the function "limit_list" to call the function "log_show_early" on demand. http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=revision.c;h=3ba6d991f6e9789949c314c2981dfc6b208a6f66;hb=HEAD#l683 I find that a simple flag would be sufficient. I see no need to handle different function pointers here. Do any objections exist to achieve the same effect with the data type "sig_atomic_t"?
