Subject: [PATCH] unpack-tree.c: remove dead code
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 23:15:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407878107-22850-1-git-send-email-stefanbeller@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqha1h60fy.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com>

In line 1763 of unpack-tree.c we have a condition on the current tree
	if (current) {
		...
Within this block of code we can assume current to be non NULL, hence
the code after the statement in line 1796:
	if (current)
		return ...

cannot be reached.

current/newtree/oldtree are used in the
call to reject_merge() *only* for their path aka ce->name, and they
all point at the same name (there is no rename funkies here); hence
"all other failures" code path should just rely on current always
being present.

All referenced lines have been introduced in the same commit
076b0adc (2006-07-30, read-tree: move merge functions to the library),
which was just moving the code around.
The outer condition on the current tree (now in line 1763) was introduced
in c859600954df4c292e, June 2005, [PATCH] read-tree: save more user hassles during fast-forward.
The inner condition on the current tree was introduced in
ee6566e8d70da682ac4926d, Sept. 2005, [PATCH] Rewrite read-tree
