The above is an example of justifying a more vague "simple" ("is better" is implied) with a concrete point (i.e. By moving that to the end, you removed the need to conditionally shift $@ in the function to simplify the codepath), based on my _guess_ of what you possibly meant to say, from reading your description that did not give much clue for me to guess why you thought the result was "more elegant". If my guess missed what your true justification was, please replace it with the more correct one ;-) >> I cannot read why you think the updated commit_msg is "more pretty" >> in the message or in the patch. >> >> > -commit_msg () { >> > - # String "initial. initial" partly in German (translated with Google Translate), >> > +commit_msg() { >> >> Style.
