Building on top of what was suggested in the other message, the
helper could be made more reusable by doing something like this:
int suggest_misspelt_ref(const char *ref, struct string_list *suggested);
and the caller can do
if (!commit) {
struct string_list suggested = STRING_LIST_INIT;
if (suggest_misspelt_ref(argv[1], &suggested)) {
... Did you mean one of these??? ...
string_list_clear(&suggested);
}
die(_("'%s' is not something we can merge'), argv[1]);
}
So I think this point is moot. Of course, similar_ref_cb needs to
be updated to keep a pointer to an existing string_list, not an
instance of its own string_list.
