Similar recommendations on the commit message as in the previous patch [1]:

- title should be prefixed with 'git.c:'
- title & message should use the imperative mood (e.g. "remove else
  statement" instead of "removed else statement")
- please fix typos
    - s/there/There
    - s/signle/single
    - s/we/with(?)

nit: argc is always >= 0 [2], so a more appropriate condition would be:

    if (!argc)

There are lots of examples of that '!argc' conditional in Git, but none of
the 'argc <= 0' pattern, so it's probably best to match convention here.

Otherwise, the rest of this diff looks good.
