We do not like C99 style comments.  Remember, there are people who  
compile
Git on something else than the super-latest Linux with cutting-edge  
GCC.

Out of curiosity, what environment these days doesn't allow C99  
comments? I think I started programming roughly 10 years ago (granted,  
I didn't start with C, but I did C programming at least 8 years ago,  
if not earlier) and every environment I've ever used has supported  
those comments even in C89 mode.

I mean, I fully understand that git wants to be portable across all  
platforms, but it still makes me wonder if there's any environment  
that anybody actually uses these days that doesn't understand those  
comments when compiling C.
