I wonder if you can further reduce an unnecessary duplication in the
two "else if" clauses in the above, and if the result becomes easier
to read and maintain.  Perhaps

	if (((flags & LOOKUP_LITERALLY)
              ? unpack_sha1_header_to_strbuf(...)
              : unpack_sha1_header(...)) < 0)
		status = error(...);
	else if ((status = parse_sha1_header_extended(...)) < 0)
         	status = error(...);

or even

	status = 0;
	if (flags & LOOKUP_LITERALLY) {
		if (unpack_sha1_header_to_strbuf(...) < 0)
			status = error(...);
	} else {
		if (unpack_sha1_header(...) < 0)
			status = error(...);
	}
         if (!status) {
         	if (status = parse(...)) < 0)
	        	status = error(...);
	}

although I think the latter might be a bit harder to read.


I hope you meant the former. The latter to me seems simpler as its a simple if else statement whereas the former has a ternary operator with function calls. I did think about this when writing the code, the problem is when flag == LOOKUP_LITERALLY, parse_sha1_header_extended() takes 'hdrbuf.buf' as first argument where as when flag != LOOKUP_LITERALLY, it takes 'hdr' as an argument. We could do this

status = 0;
char * hdrp;
if (flags & LOOKUP_LITERALLY) {
	if (unpack_sha1_header_to_strbuf(...) < 0)
		status = error(...);
	hdrp = hdrbuf.buf;
} else {
	if (unpack_sha1_header(...) < 0)
		status = error(...);
	hdrp = hdr;
}
if (!status)
	if (status = parse(hdrp, ...)) < 0)
		status = error(...);
}

But I think it just introduces another variable to keep track of, which I rather not have.
