That would require some reshuffling in setup.c, since `setup_git_directory()` calls out to it with NULL... Just thinking out loud. In any case, and more importantly, this is the last user providing NULL except for the one in `setup_git_directory()`. > diff --git a/t/t0030-stripspace.sh b/t/t0030-stripspace.sh > index 5ce47e8af5..0c24a0f9a3 100755 > --- a/t/t0030-stripspace.sh > +++ b/t/t0030-stripspace.sh > @@ -430,9 +430,15 @@ test_expect_success '-c with changed comment char' ' > test_expect_success '-c with comment char defined in .git/config' ' > test_config core.commentchar = && > printf "= foo\n" >expect && > - printf "foo" | ( > - mkdir sub && cd sub && git stripspace -c > - ) >actual && > + rm -fr sub && > + mkdir sub && > + printf "foo" | git -C sub stripspace -c >actual && > + test_cmp expect actual > +' A small while-at-it conversion from subshell (with a funny pipe into it) to `-C sub`. The `rm -fr` invocation is not in the original, so shouldn't be needed. This one looks safe enough, though it makes me wonder why you need it. `mkdir -p sub`?
