That makes any and all existing checks that says "if recurse-submodules is set and we are in no-index mode, do this" unneeded. > > /* > * skip a -- separator; we know it cannot be > @@ -1115,8 +1118,8 @@ int cmd_grep(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) > } > } > > - if (recurse_submodules && (!use_index || untracked)) > - die(_("option not supported with --recurse-submodules")); > + if (recurse_submodules && untracked) > + die(_("--untracked not supported with --recurse-submodules")); And this is an example of a change to remove a check for such a redundant condition. If recurse_submodules is true (which is the only time the RHS of &&- is evaluated), we know use_index cannot be false, so the final outcome solely depends on the value of untracked. Looks good. And my quick reading of the current builtin/grep.c code suggests that this is the only such combination that can be simplified.
