I am only seeing the disadvantage: a list with duped strings. > + unlink_or_warn(git_path_bisect_expected_rev()); [...] > + unlink_or_warn(git_path_bisect_start()); Comparing it with the original shell code (which uses "rm -f"), I was wondering a little after reading the function name unlink_or_warn() here... Looking it up helped: despite its name, unlink_or_warn() is really the function you have to use here ;D > diff --git a/builtin/bisect--helper.c b/builtin/bisect--helper.c > index 65cf519..4254d61 100644 > --- a/builtin/bisect--helper.c > +++ b/builtin/bisect--helper.c > @@ -5,10 +5,15 @@ > #include "refs.h" > > static GIT_PATH_FUNC(git_path_bisect_terms, "BISECT_TERMS") > +static GIT_PATH_FUNC(git_path_bisect_expected_rev, "BISECT_EXPECTED_REV") > +static GIT_PATH_FUNC(git_path_bisect_ancestors_ok, "BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK") > +static GIT_PATH_FUNC(git_path_bisect_log, "BISECT_LOG") > +static GIT_PATH_FUNC(git_path_bisect_start, "BISECT_START") This is perhaps a non-issue, but you do not need any of these new path functions in *this* patch. I think nobody really cares, though, because you will need them later. Cheers Stephan
