As we are reading our own output, I agree that such a data error is a BUG(). In any case, a helper to see if the file ended without post-context is one thing, and a helper that specify what happens after we are done with a single file, before we move on top the next file or after processing the last file, is another thing. The latter may be able to make use of the former, but the latter may want to do more than that in the future. As complete_file() is about finalizing the processing we have done to the current file, it should be used for that purpose, and nothing else, I think the hunk I see at https://github.com/git/git/commit/c082176f8c5a1fc1c8b2a93991ca28fd63aae73a (reproduced below) is simply a nonsense. Stepping back a bit, though, is this helper really finalizing the current file, or is it finalizing the current hunk? If it were the latter, then its use in the hunk I called "nonsense" above actually makes perfect sense. There may not be anything other than finalizing the last hunk when we see the end of a file right now, so we may not need to add a finalize_file() helper right now, and when we need to do something more than finalizing the last hunk, we may need to capture the distinction by adding one. diff --git i/add-patch.c w/add-patch.c index 89ffda32b2..6094290c86 100644 --- i/add-patch.c +++ w/add-patch.c @@ -578,8 +578,8 @@ static int parse_diff(struct add_p_state *s, const struct pathspec *ps) (int)(eol - (plain->buf + file_diff->head.start)), plain->buf + file_diff->head.start); - if ((marker == '-' || marker == '+') && *p == ' ') - hunk->splittable_into++; + if (*p == ' ') + complete_file(marker, &hunk->splittable_into); if (marker && *p != '\\') marker = *p;
