There's a behavior change here, but I think it is the right thing to do.
It lacks a proper commit message though:
As a reminder, your patch "change `git_config()` return value to void"
in the other series did:
--- a/branch.c
+++ b/branch.c
@@ -161,10 +161,7 @@ int read_branch_desc(struct strbuf *buf, const char *branch_name)
strbuf_addf(&name, "branch.%s.description", branch_name);
cb.config_name = name.buf;
cb.value = NULL;
- if (git_config(read_branch_desc_cb, &cb) < 0) {
- strbuf_release(&name);
- return -1;
- }
+ git_config(read_branch_desc_cb, &cb);
if (cb.value)
strbuf_addstr(buf, cb.value);
strbuf_release(&name);
So, before it, read_branch_desc() was returning -1 iff git_config()
failed, which essentially never happened.
Now, you're retoring a similar "if", but you strbuf_release and return
-1 if no value is found for the variable.
There are 3 callers of read_branch_desc:
builtin/branch.c: read_branch_desc(&buf, branch_name);
builtin/fmt-merge-msg.c: if (!read_branch_desc(&desc, name)) {
builtin/log.c: read_branch_desc(&desc, branch_name);
Only the one in fmt-merge-msg.c uses the return value:
static void add_branch_desc(struct strbuf *out, const char *name)
{
struct strbuf desc = STRBUF_INIT;
if (!read_branch_desc(&desc, name)) {
const char *bp = desc.buf;
while (*bp) { /* (1) */
const char *ep = strchrnul(bp, '\n');
if (*ep)
ep++;
strbuf_addf(out, " : %.*s", (int)(ep - bp), bp);
bp = ep;
}
if (out->buf[out->len - 1] != '\n') /* (2) */
strbuf_addch(out, '\n');
}
strbuf_release(&desc);
}
the (1) part is a no-op if no value is found, but the old code was still
adding a \n in the (2) part, even when no value was found.
So, the new code is better than the old one, but your patch does a bit
more than the commit message claims.
