Or is this primarily about avoiding repeated appearance of "warning:" labels, i.e. warning: sentence one warning: sentence two I am not sure if these belong to this "simple mechanical conversion or otherwise uncontrovercial improvement" series. > diff --git a/config.c b/config.c > index f4a208a166..6ba07989f1 100644 > --- a/config.c > +++ b/config.c > @@ -461,7 +461,7 @@ int git_config_from_parameters(config_fn_t fn, void *data) > envw = xstrdup(env); > > if (sq_dequote_to_argv(envw, &argv, &nr, &alloc) < 0) { > - ret = error("bogus format in " CONFIG_DATA_ENVIRONMENT); > + ret = error("bogus format in %s", CONFIG_DATA_ENVIRONMENT); > goto out; > } > Good job spotting that the original wanted to say, but failed to say, that CONFIG_DATA_ENVIRONMENT as the source of broken data we detected. But I am not sure CONFIG_DATA_ENVIRONMENT is what we want to report as the source of bad data to the end users. One-shot configuration we get form "git -c VAR=VAL" are placed in the environment as an internal implementation detail, so from their point of view, the place we saw broken data coming from is their command line "git -c VAR=VAL" one-shot configuration. > @@ -1409,11 +1409,11 @@ static int git_default_push_config(const char *var, const char *value) > push_default = PUSH_DEFAULT_UPSTREAM; > else if (!strcmp(value, "current")) > push_default = PUSH_DEFAULT_CURRENT; > - else { > - error("malformed value for %s: %s", var, value); > - return error("Must be one of nothing, matching, simple, " > - "upstream or current."); > - } > + else > + return error("malformed value for %s: %s\n" > + "Must be one of nothing, matching, simple, " > + "upstream or current.", > + var, value); The same comment as an earlier warning(). > - if (flags & CONNECT_VERBOSE) > - fprintf(stderr, "done.\nConnecting to %s (port %s) ...

This was a rather sizeable patch. The parts I did not quote and comment all looked good. Thanks.
