Hm, what do you think of an alternate approach of storing of the
matching remotes in a string_list, something like:
struct find_tracked_branch_cb {
struct tracking *tracking;
struct string_list matching_remotes;
};
static int find_tracked_branch(struct remote *remote, void *priv)
{
struct tracking *tracking = priv;
struct find_tracked_branch_cb *ftb = priv;
struct tracking *tracking = ftb->tracking;
if (!remote_find_tracking(remote, &tracking->spec)) {
if (++tracking->matches == 1) {
string_list_append(tracking->srcs, tracking->spec.src);
tracking->remote = remote->name;
} else {
free(tracking->spec.src);
string_list_clear(tracking->srcs, 0);
}
string_list_append(&ftb->matching_remotes, remote->name);
tracking->spec.src = NULL;
}
then construct the advice message in setup_tracking()? To my untrained
eye, "case 2" requires a bit of extra work to understand.
