From: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> In verify_one_commit_graph(), we have code that complains when a commit is found with a generation number of zero, and then later with a non-zero number. It works like this: 1. When we see an entry with generation zero, we set the generation_zero flag to GENERATION_ZERO_EXISTS. 2. When we later see an entry with a non-zero generation, we complain if the flag is GENERATION_ZERO_EXISTS. There's a matching GENERATION_NUMBER_EXISTS value, which in theory would be used to find the case that we see the entries in the opposite order: 1. When we see an entry with a non-zero generation, we set the generation_zero flag to GENERATION_NUMBER_EXISTS. 2. When we later see an entry with a zero generation, we complain if the flag is GENERATION_NUMBER_EXISTS. But that doesn't work; step 2 is implemented, but there is no step 1. We never use NUMBER_EXISTS at all, and Coverity rightly complains that step 2 is dead code. We can fix that by implementing that step 1.
