Move the check for the lock failure to happen immediately after lock_any_ref_for_update(). Previously the lock and the check-if-lock-failed was separated by a handful of string manipulation statements. Moving the check to occur immediately after the failed lock makes the code slightly easier to read and makes it follow the pattern of try-to-take-a-lock() if (check-if-lock-failed){ error } Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@xxxxxxxxxx> --- builtin/commit.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/commit.c b/builtin/commit.c index d9550c5..c6320f1 100644 --- a/builtin/commit.c +++ b/builtin/commit.c @@ -1672,6 +1672,10 @@ int cmd_commit(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) ?
