Yes, it is obvious that the original is wrong once you point it out. But "i + ++count" looks like a line noise, and funny way that lines are wrapped in the original does not help X-<. We may want to fix the style and the grammar while we are at it, perhaps like the attached. In any case, thanks for a fix. unpack-trees.c | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/unpack-trees.c b/unpack-trees.c index 6bbf58d28e..c38938d96c 100644 --- a/unpack-trees.c +++ b/unpack-trees.c @@ -562,11 +562,11 @@ static int warn_conflicted_path(struct index_state *istate, add_rejected_path(o, WARNING_SPARSE_UNMERGED_FILE, conflicting_path); - /* Find out how many higher stage entries at same path */ - while (++count < istate->cache_nr && - !strcmp(conflicting_path, - istate->cache[i+count]->name)) - /* do nothing */; + /* Find out how many higher stage entries are at same path */ + while ((++count) + i < istate->cache_nr && + !strcmp(conflicting_path, istate->cache[count + i]->name)) + ; /* do nothing */ + return count; }
