I forgot, we ended up reversing course later and silencing them:

By the rationale of that conversation, we should be doing:

  warning("%s", "");

here.

I forgot too.  Thanks for digging up that thread.

Yes, I blamed wt-status.c:227 and came up with commit 7d7d68022
as well.

So, by the same rationale, we should remove -Wno-format-zero-length
from DEVELOPER_CFLAGS. yes?

I don't have a preference on which direction we go, but yes, right now
we are in an awkward middle ground. We should do one of:

  1. Drop -Wno-format-zero-length from DEVELOPER_CFLAGS and make sure
     future patches to do not violate it.

  2. Declare warning("") as OK.

I still think the warning is silly, but (1) has value in that it
produces the least surprise and annoyance to various people building
Git.
