The condition before the changed line dereferences 'one' to query the mode, so if the condition evaluates to true, the variable one must not be null. Therefore we do not need the ternary operator depending on one, giving either one->path or two->path. This always evaluates to one->path, so we can remove the ternary operator. The condition and the usage of the ternary operator have been introduced by the same commit (752c0c24, 2009-10-19, Add the --submodule option to the diff option family). As that commit message refers to a GitTogether I'd assume that patch was crafted in a hurry, so maybe overlooking the need for a ternary operator there.
