True, but I think another point of the patch is to address the risk of two instances of "+ 20" going out of sync if/when the option parsing is updated. Not that I think André meant the patch as defensive coding (the subject suggests it was meant to be a micro-optimization), nor this is the good way to address that risk factor (parse-options may be a better match for it). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
