Aside from reducing the code by 20 lines this refactoring removes a level of indirection when trying to access the operations of a given transport "instance", making the code clearer and easier to follow. It also has the nice effect of giving us the benefits of C99 style struct initialization (namely ".fetch = X") without requiring that level of language support from our compiler. We don't need to worry about new operation methods being added as they will now be NULL'd out automatically by the xcalloc() we use to create the new struct transport we supply to the caller. This pattern already exists in struct walker, so we already have a precedent for it in Git. We also don't really need to worry about any sort of performance decreases that may occur as a result of filling out 4-8 op pointers when we make a "struct transport". The extra few CPU cycles this requires over filling in the "struct transport_ops" is killed by the time it will take Git to actually *use* one of those functions, as most transport operations are going over the wire or will be copying object data locally between two directories.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
