That is also fine; it only needs to be clarified somehow to people who might wonder what get_relative_cwd() function is used for and how to use it in their programs. The comment that says "As a convenience" may need to become a bit more elaborate to say why it is convenient for the callers to do so (e.g. "The caller may have called another function that returns a directory to obtain the 'dir', which may have returned NULL as a way to say 'there is nothing applicable in your case', and in such a case, your $(cwd) relative to that 'dir' is also something that cannot be used, hence a NULL is returned"). - 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
