Does it align and look to be at the same level as the first paragraph that begins with "With `--batch` or `--batch-check`" (asking because I do not have an access to a good environment to check the resulting HTML easily right now)? > + result = get_sha1_with_context(obj_name, flags, data->sha1, &ctx); > + if (result != FOUND) { > + switch(result) { switch (result) { > + case MISSING_OBJECT: > + printf("%s missing\n", obj_name); > + break; > + case DANGLING_SYMLINK: > + printf("dangling %"PRIuMAX"\n%s\n", strlen(obj_name), > + obj_name); > + break; > + case SYMLINK_LOOP: > + printf("loop %"PRIuMAX"\n%s\n", strlen(obj_name), > + obj_name); > + break; > + case NOT_DIR: > + printf("notdir %"PRIuMAX"\n%s\n", strlen(obj_name), > + obj_name); > + break; Don't all these lengths need to be cast to uintmax_t, like the "symlink" one below? By the way, I noticed that my compiler is so stupid that it does not realize this "switch (result)" is inside "if (result != FOUND)" and missing "case FOUND:" is perfectly fine. The remainder of the code I have been compiling with -Wswitch, but this one makes me to drop it. > + } > + fflush(stdout); > + return 0; > + } > + > + if (ctx.mode == 0) { > + printf("symlink %"PRIuMAX"\n%s\n", > + (uintmax_t)ctx.symlink_path.len, > + ctx.symlink_path.buf); > fflush(stdout); > return 0; -- 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
