Now is it just a single patch squashing everything together?
That does not look like it.

Why should this be so complex?  You are dropping skipping_duplicates
when the output is not name-only, so shouldn't this look more like

		if ((show_cached || show_stage) &&
		    (!show_unmerged || ce_stage(ce)) {
			show_ce(...);
                        if (skipping_duplicates)
                        	goto skip_to_next_name;
		}

It seems that this still depends on the 2/3 from the previous
iteration, against which I suggested to merge the conditions of
nested if statements into one.  That should be done in the updated
2/3, not in this step, no?

And this one also belongs to the step 2/3 that consolidates the two
loops into one.

I think you'd need to start from the three patches in v5, "rebase -i"
not just [3/3] but at least [2/3], too.

Thanks.
