I am not sure what this buys us. After dealing with pages that begin with "git-", if the set of documentation we have happen to all share "git" as their prefix, then this new BUG() does not do anything to them, and when we ever add say "scalar-guide.txt", the new BUG() would only force people to rewrite this part of the code. Instead we could be more forward looking and do something like "Yield a name without 'git' prefix if it begins with it, or the original name", and then new guides that are outside "git" namespace can be added without touching this part of the code again. IOW, it is not entirely clear to me what we are adding this extra roadblock for. > While we're at it remove a stray newline that had been added after the > "return name;" statement. > > Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > help.c | 10 ++++++++-- > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/help.c b/help.c > index 41c41c2aa11..80d516abb0b 100644 > --- a/help.c > +++ b/help.c > @@ -44,13 +44,19 @@ static struct category_description main_categories[] = { > static const char *drop_prefix(const char *name, uint32_t category) > { > const char *new_name; > + const char *prefix; > > if (skip_prefix(name, "git-", &new_name)) > return new_name; > - if (category == CAT_guide && skip_prefix(name, "git", &new_name)) > + switch (category) { > + case CAT_guide: > + prefix = "git"; > + if (!skip_prefix(name, prefix, &new_name)) > + BUG("'%s' in category #%d should have '%s' prefix", > + name, category, prefix); > return new_name; > + } > return name; > - > } > > static void extract_cmds(struct cmdname_help **p_cmds, uint32_t mask)
