Simplify the if-else test in longest_match_lstat_cache() such that we only have one simple if test. Instead of testing for 'i == cache.len' or 'i == len', we transform this to a common test for 'i == max_len'. And to further optimise we use 'i >= max_len' instead of 'i == max_len', the reason is that it is now the exact opposite of one part inside the while-loop termination expression 'i < max_len && name[i] == cache.path[i]', and then the compiler can hopefully/probably reuse a test-result from it. We do similar transformations inside the lstat_cache() and the invalidate_lstat_cache() functions. The result is a little smaller text-size as shown below: ~/git/git $ size symlinks_??_* text data bss dec hex filename 1282 0 4116 5398 1516 symlinks_O2_after.o 1378 0 4116 5494 1576 symlinks_O2_before.o 896 0 4116 5012 1394 symlinks_Os_after.o 902 0 4116 5018 139a symlinks_Os_before.o 'O2' means that the file is compiled with 'gcc -O2', and similar 'Os' means that the file is compiled with 'gcc -Os' (gcc 4.3.2).
