[PATCH 7/4] submodule: clarify logic in show_submodule_summary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are two uses of the "left" and "right" commit
variables that make it hard to be sure what values they
have (both for the reader, and for gcc, which wrongly
complains that they might be used uninitialized).

The functions starts with a cascading if statement, checking
that the input sha1s exist, and finally working up to
preparing a revision walk. We only prepare the walk if the
cascading conditional did not find any problems, which we
check by seeing whether it set the "message" variable or
not. It's simpler and more obvious to just add a condition
to the end of the cascade.

Later, we check the same "message" variable when deciding
whether to clear commit marks on the left/right commits; if
it is set, we presumably never started the walk. This is
wrong, though; we might have started the walk and munged
commit flags, only to encounter an error afterwards. We
should always clear the flags on left/right if they exist,
whether the walk was successful or not.
