Practically speaking, it is not obvious to me that making any of these variables non-static is needed for "cherry-pick --continue" to work, but given that most of the state is being made non-static anyway, readers will be likely to wonder why "me" is left behind. So the obvious choices would be to a. make "me" a member of the replay_opts struct; or b. compute "me" in each function that needs it by calling a helper function; or c. add some explanation to the commit message to clarify the status of "me" as static-but-won't-be-in-the-long-term and a reason for that based on the needs of the current code. (b) sounds simplest to me, though I haven't tried it. -- 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
