This seems like a better (and more user-helpful) approach. Instead of initializing value to NULL and ignoring the return value of git_config_get_string_const(), would it instead make sense to respect the return of git_config_get_string_const(), like this? const char *value; if (!git_config_get_string_const(key, &value)) { if (parse_notes_strategy(value, strategy)) git_die_config(key, "unknown notes merge strategy '%s'", value); return 0; } return 1; Or, the equivalent, but less indented: if (git_config_get_string_const(key, &value)) return 1; if (parse_notes_strategy(value, strategy)) git_die_config(key, "unknown notes merge strategy '%s'", value); 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
