As you are using the designated initializers for this array, we are free to order the lines in any way that makes most sense to us and do not have to order the lines in numerical order. In what order are these lines sorted right now? I am tempted to suggest that we should sort alphabetically on the values, i.e. run the contents of the table through "LC_ALL=C sort -k2,2 -t=". > + > +static const char turn_off_instructions[] = > +N_("\n" > + "Disable this message with \"git config %s false\""); > + > +static void vadvise(const char *advice, va_list params, > + int display_instructions, char *key) It may be just me, but I feel uneasy when I see va_list in the middle of the parameter list. As it is a mechanism to allow us handle "the remainder of the arguments", it logically makes more sense to have it as the last parameter. > { > struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT; > const char *cp, *np; > > strbuf_vaddf(&buf, advice, params); > > + if(display_instructions) > + strbuf_addf(&buf, turn_off_instructions, key); Style.

Does any code depend on the exact numeric value of the advice type, or at least at the source code level the only thing we care about them is that they are distinct? I'd really want to get rid of these exact value assignments---they are source of unnecessary conflicts when two or more topics want to add new advice types of their own. I also suggest that these are sorted alphabetically. > + ... > + SUBMODULE_ALTERNATE_ERROR_STRATEGY_DIE = 28, > +}; > +++ b/t/t0018-advice.sh > @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ > +#!/bin/sh > + > +test_description='Test advise_if_enabled functionality' > + > +. ./test-lib.sh > + > +cat > expected <<EOF > +hint: This is a piece of advice > +hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.nestedTag false" > +EOF > +test_expect_success 'advise should be printed when config variable is unset' ' > + test-tool advise "This is a piece of advice" 2>actual && > + test_i18ncmp expected actual > +' - Prepare the expected output inside test_expect_success block that uses it. - There should be no SP between a redirection operator and the filename. - Here-doc that does not use parameter expansion should use a quoted EOF marker. - The file that gets compared with "actual" is by convention called "expect", not "expected". i.e. test_expect_success 'advise should be printed when config variable is unset' ' cat >expect <<-\EOF && hint: ... hint: ...
