Re: [PATCH 3/3] unpack-trees: remove redundant path search in verify_absent

Clemens Buchacher [off-list ref] writes:

Since the only caller, verify_absent, relies on the fact that o->pos
points to the next index entry anyways, there is no need to recompute
its position.

I suspect that the original reasoning of this behaviour might have been in
anticipation of other callers, but I agree with your reasoning especially
because I do not think of a good reason to want to receive the number of
entries to skip as the return value and not have o->pos pointing at the
right place.

Thanks, queued.
