It merely is curious and not wrong; the actual parsing of the whole thing is done in scoreopt_parse() and skip_to_optional_val() is used merely as a substitute for "the thing must either be --break-rewrites or must begin with --break-rewrites=" check that is done with starts_with() and !strcmp(). It probably makes sense to allow skip_to_optional() to take a NULL for the third parameter to clarify a callsite like this. Otherwise the readers will wonder who consumes optarg, and why it is OK for it to be sometimes set and sometimes left undefined. > - else if (starts_with(arg, "-M") || starts_with(arg, "--find-renames=") || > - !strcmp(arg, "--find-renames")) { > + else if (starts_with(arg, "-M") || > + skip_to_optional_val(arg, "--find-renames", &optarg)) { Likewise. > @@ -4554,8 +4549,8 @@ int diff_opt_parse(struct diff_options *options, > else if (!strcmp(arg, "-D") || !strcmp(arg, "--irreversible-delete")) { > options->irreversible_delete = 1; > } > - else if (starts_with(arg, "-C") || starts_with(arg, "--find-copies=") || > - !strcmp(arg, "--find-copies")) { > + else if (starts_with(arg, "-C") || > + skip_to_optional_val(arg, "--find-copies", &optarg)) { > if (options->detect_rename == DIFF_DETECT_COPY) > options->flags.find_copies_harder = 1; > if ((options->rename_score = diff_scoreopt_parse(arg)) == -1) Likewise.
