Subject: [PATCH] MyFirstObjectWalk: remove unnecessary conditional statement
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2020 15:19:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.589.git.1585408753519.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In the given example, `commit` cannot be `NULL` (because this is the
loop condition: if it was `NULL`, the loop body would not be entered at
all). It took this developer a moment or two to see that this is
therefore dead code.

Let's remove it, to avoid puzzling future readers.

    MyFirstObjectWalk: remove unnecessary conditional statement
    
    Our introductory documentation made me scratch my head because our
    example contains dead code. I'd like to remove it lest we confuse future
    contributors.
