Yeah, that looks like a fine solution to me. To be honest, I doubt that it is even necessary to handle the backwards compatibility. The checkstat option never actually worked, statinfo was never advertised, and the broken state was available in only one release. So I'd be very surprised if anyone more than the author was actually using it. Still, it is not that hard to handle both, so I suppose it is better to be conservative. -Peff -- 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
