It does, but we'll be reworking it in the next patch after it won't, and besides it is better to stick to standard strcmp/memcmp/base_name_compare/etc... convention, where comparison function returns <0, =0, >0 Regarding performance, comparing for <0, =0, >0 should be a little bit faster, than switch, because it is just 1 test-without-immediate instruction and then up to 3 conditional branches, and in switch you have up to 3 tests with immediate and up to 3 conditional branches. No worry, that update_tree_entry(t2) is duplicated for =0 and >0 - it will be good after we'll be adding support for multiparent walker and will stay that way. =0 case goes first, because it happens more often in real diffs - i.e. paths are the same.
