It is error prone for each caller that sets revs.remerge_diff bit to be responsible for preparing a temporary object directory and rotate it into the list of alternate object stores, making it the primary object store. Instead, remove the code to set up and arrange the temporary object directory from the current callers and implement it in the code that runs remerge-diff logic. The code to undo the futzing of the list of alternate object store is still spread across the callers, but we will deal with it in future steps. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * So here are two patches to illustate how the code to do the lazy set-up and centralized tear down looks like. The first part is the lazy set-up. builtin/diff-tree.c | 7 ------- builtin/log.c | 7 ------- log-tree.c | 16 ++++++++++++---- 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/diff-tree.c b/builtin/diff-tree.c index 12012ea093..af51cd29c6 100644 --- a/builtin/diff-tree.c +++ b/builtin/diff-tree.c @@ -168,13 +168,6 @@ int cmd_diff_tree(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) opt->diffopt.rotate_to_strict = 1; - if (opt->remerge_diff) { - opt->remerge_objdir = tmp_objdir_create("remerge-diff"); - if (!opt->remerge_objdir) - die(_("unable to create temporary object directory")); - tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb(opt->remerge_objdir, 1); - } - /* * NOTE!
