How about some curly braces around the then part of that first if? Actually, we typically just write this more like: static int gc_config(const char *var, const char *value) { if (!strcmp(var, "gc.packrefs")) { if (!strcmp(value, "notbare")) pack_refs = -1; else pack_refs = git_config_bool(var, value); } return git_default_config(var, value); } > +int cmd_gc(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > +{ > + int i; > + int prune = 0; > + > + git_config(gc_config); if (pack_refs < 0) pack_refs = !is_bare_repository(); The is_bare_repository function guesses until the configuration is done parsing; once the configuration has been parsed it has a definate answer one way or the other. So what I'm suggesting you do here is set pack_refs = -1 to mean use the is_bare_repository setting, otherwise it stays what it was set to. > + if (pack_refs) > + if (run_command_v_opt(argv_pack_refs, RUN_GIT_CMD)) > + goto failure; .... > + if (prune) > + if (run_command_v_opt(argv_prune, RUN_GIT_CMD)) > + goto failure; Gaah. Tabs-vs-spaces, not to mention that these aren't even lining up the same way. I too prefer what Dsco suggested already: if (prune && run_command_v_opt(argv_prune, RUN_GIT_CMD)) return error("failed to run %s", argv_prune[0]); -- Shawn. - 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
