In case the length of the buffer is zero, we do not need to call the fwrite system call as a performance improvement. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This applies on top of v17 for origin/sb/submodule-parallel-update. In case there are other reasons for origin/sb/submodule-parallel-update to need a reroll I'll squash it in. But as this is a pure performance optimization in a case we are not running into with that series and that series is clashing with Davids refs backend series, I figure we may not want to have a reroll for this fix alone.
