Re: [patch 00/16] Portability Patches for git-1.7.1 (v4)

Furthermore, if we do take such changes, how are we going to manage
portability going forward? Some constructs (like non-constant
initializers) make the code much easier to read. People _will_ submit
patches that use them. Is somebody going to be auto-building on all of
these platforms with vendor compilers to confirm that nothing is broken?

You can use "gcc -pedantic" to find these portability problems.
