I don't think warning() is warranted for an operation you introduced to keep the internal data structure consistent. Should this comparison done after we parsed the subtree, or should we be doing that before it? If you are adding this new check to a point where we have already parsed the subtree object, don't you have a better and cheaper way to detect if the subtree is empty than the 20-byte comparision, namely, perhaps by looking at subtree->size? -- 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
