A few comments: * The error_errno() line is not indented correctly; I'll fix it up while queuing, but it would conflict with 2/3 as you'll be moving that line around. * When we say "error", we do not even know if the thing got removed or modified at all, so it is somewhat strange to report it as such (the path may be intact and the only issue may be that we cannot read the containing directory). It is equally strange not to say anything on the path, and between the two, there isn't clearly a more correct answer. What you implemented here does not change the traditional behaviour of reporting it as deleted/modified to "alert" the user, which I think is good. * The logic for modified entry looks a bit duplicated. I wonder if the one at the end of this message reads better. Renaming err to stat_err is optional, but I think the name makes it clear why it is sensible that these two places use the variable as a sign that the path was deleted and/or modified. > err = lstat(fullname.buf, &st); > + if (err) { > + if (errno != ENOENT && errno != ENOTDIR) > + error_errno("cannot lstat '%s'", fullname.buf); > + if (show_deleted) > + show_ce(repo, dir, ce, fullname.buf, tag_removed); > + if (show_modified) > + show_ce(repo, dir, ce, fullname.buf, tag_modified); > + } else if (show_modified && ie_modified(repo->index, ce, &st, 0)) > show_ce(repo, dir, ce, fullname.buf, tag_modified); stat_err = lstat(...); if (stat_err && (errno != ENOENT && errno != ENOTDIR)) error_errno("cannot lstat '%s'", fullname.buf); if (show_deleted && stat_err) show_ce(..., tag_removed); if (show_modified && (stat_err || ie_modified(..., &st, 0))) show_ce(..., tag_modified);
