Certainly. Even though "3 means we haven't found a non-pick yet" feels slightly hacky, the logic is contained in this small loop and I do not see it as a problem. As long as you are sure $ONTO and all sha1 can be compared without running them through rev-parse, avoiding rev-parse per iteration is a very attractive optimization. -- 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
