Rather than having a separate global 'show_email' variable and consulting that variable in parallel with OUTPUT_SHOW_EMAIL throughout the code, instead set the OUTPUT_SHOW_EMAIL bit in git_blame_config(). To do this, take advantage of the "callback data" argument of git_config(), which will arrive in git_blame_config() as its 'void *cb' argument. So, for instance, something like this: static int git_blame_config(var, value, void *cb) { ... if (!strcmp(var, "blame.showemail")) { if (git_config_bool(var, value)) { int *output_options = cb; *output_options |= OUTPUT_SHOW_EMAIL; } return 0; } ... } int cmd_blame(...) { ... git_config(git_blame_config, &output_options); ... parse_options(...); ... } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
