[PATCH 0/4] refspec: treat 'fetch' as a Boolean value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series explores treating the 'fetch' field of 'struct refspec' as a
Boolean, instead of taking on values called "REFSPEC_FETCH" and
"REFSPEC_PUSH".

The refactoring takes place in a couple of steps, but IMHO the end
result is pleasing and an improvement in clarity over the existing API.

For reference, in one of the patches above, I had suggested replacing
something like:

    if (refspec->fetch == REFSPEC_FETCH) {
      /* something */
    } else {
      /* something else */
    }

with a switch/case-statement, only to realize that 'refspec->fetch' is
really a Boolean in disguise.

I am not overly attached to these patches one way or the other. I think
they do improve the refspec.h API, but they're also ripe for
bike-shedding. So if we agree that they are good, I'm happy to see them
move forward. But if not, I'd rather not spend the list's time
bike-shedding here, so I'd just as soon drop them.

Thanks in advance for your review!
