However, you need to know which commit this one depends on. ;-) IMHO, it's a good idea for removal patches to reflect on why the thing is appropriate to remove. Obviously there are no callers, but do we expect any to come back? I think probably not, because this function is doing very little that a regular if() does not besides obfuscating the error message (and if we ever did want something like it, we would probably prefer the function to come back with more "normal" return value semantics). -Peff -- 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
