Logically the stripping of "path" should happen before the caller calls this function, as the purpose of this function is "given a token and object name, produce one line of 'I have this at here' protocol message, which is defined to have the capability list tucked after the first of such messages in an exchange". It now is "the token has to be a path in a namespace; the only exception is when the token is NULL, in which case we always send 'capabilities^{}'". It also is a very selfish solution for an immediate issue(*) that does not give much considertation for people who may want to add new things in the future, as the _only_ possible special case is to send in NULL. The immediate issue you wanted to solve, I think, is that it is not convenient to strip in the caller as this is a callback. Still, I think it should be easy to do something like... static int show_ref_message(const char *path, const unsigned char *sha1) { ... original show_ref() implementation comes here ... } static int show_ref_cb(const char *path, const unsigned char *sha1, int flag, void *cb_data) { return show_ref_message(strip_namespace(path), sha1); } and give the latter as the callback to for_each_ref_in_namespace(). And the call to run "capabilities^{}" when there is no ref can call show_ref_message() directly. -- 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
