Should this type determination always work here because the data structure “tree_content” for the parameter “t” of the function “grow_tree_content” is defined in the same source file? https://github.com/git/git/blob/3edfcc65fdfc708c1c8f1d314885eecf9beb9b67/fast-import.c#L85 > This type may be in a header file.

Would you like to take the presented differences from the discussed before/after comparison better into account? Regards, Markus
