Personally, instead of another band-aid over this problem, and adding (or further legitimizing) goto statements inside gitweb I'd much *MUCH* rather we actually put in the work to actually clean this up. This is the direction I'm heading in, which I mentioned in an earlier e-mail. There are a *LOT* of disadvantages to the eval mechanism in perl. It's the standard but gitweb is getting more and more complex, and eval is simplistic. Couple that with the complexity and uncertainty that things like goto add to the code, I would *MUCH* rather not see this series go in, as I think it is the wrong approach to fixing this. - John 'Warthog9' Hawley -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
