Shawn? I'll exclude git-gui part and commit with a minor tweaks; having extra "does the directory exist" check in git-gui would not hurt people who are used to how rerere works in the short term, and I think I read somewhere that I should expect git-gui updates over the weekend anyway. > -int cmd_rerere(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > +int is_rerere_enabled(void) > { This will be "static". > - struct path_list merge_rr = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 }; > - int i, fd = -1; > struct stat st; > + const char *rr_cache = git_path("rr-cache"); > + int rr_cache_exists; > > - if (stat(git_path("rr-cache"), &st) || !S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) > + if (!rerere_enabled) > return 0; As git_path() is not zero-cost, assignment to rr_cache will be moved here. > > + rr_cache_exists = !stat(rr_cache, &st) && S_ISDIR(st.st_mode); > + if (rerere_enabled < 0) > + return rr_cache_exists; > + > + if (!rr_cache_exists && (mkdir(rr_cache, 0777) || > + adjust_shared_perm(rr_cache))) > + die("Could not create directory %s", rr_cache); > + return 1; > +} If rr-cache is a regular file, we will hit "Could not create directory" which is exactly what we want anyway. Even if it is a dangling symlink, it would fail with "File exists", so that should be Ok. - 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
