Aside from Junio's suggested squash in <xmqqeeb1dumx.fsf@gitster.g>
downthread, which would obsolete this comment:

I think this would be clearer by not combining these two, i.e. just:

    linux-gcc-4.8)
        # <existing comment about that setup>
        ;;
    pedantic)
        # <A new comment, or not>
        ;;

We'll surely eventually end up with not just one, but N setups that want
to compile-only, so not having to reword one big comment referring to
them all when we do so leads to less churn...
