To me, that was rather easy to miss, though... I don't particularly care if it is re-written as: alias_string = builtin_alias(alias_command); git_config(git_alias_config); which should be equivalent. I wrote it the original way to avoid doing the O(n) search through builtin aliases when it was unnecessary, but obviously this isn't a performance critical code path. -Peff - 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
