Of course it helps if we spell the name right... -- >8 -- Subject: remote.c: spell __attribute__ correctly We want to tell the compiler that error_buf() uses printf()-style arguments via the __attribute__ mechanism, but the original commit (3a429d0), forgot the trailing "__". This happens to work with real GNUC-compatible compilers like gcc and clang, but confuses our fallback macro in git-compat-util.h, which only matches the official name (and thus the build fails on compilers like Visual Studio).
