Re: [PATCH 2/2] read-cache.c: fix timestamp comparison

Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] writes:

The stupid thing is that I literally _grepped_ for the code testing 
"ce_mode".

I had missed that one because I had looked for things like

	if ([!].*ce_mode)

but that switch statement meant that the comparison to zero was 
non-local and my grep didn't see it.

Would a patch to sparse help you in cases like this?
