Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] checkout: pass cb_option explicitly to branch name parsers
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:48:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830204835.1040408-2-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830204835.1040408-1-gitster@pobox.com>

The file-scope static variable 'cb_option' is used to record whether
a new branch is being created via '-b' (in 'git checkout') or '-c'
(in 'git switch'), primarily for error reporting and advice messages
in parse_remote_branch().

Global mutable state makes the code harder to reason about and refactor.

Pass 'cb_option' explicitly as a parameter to parse_remote_branch()
and parse_branchname_arg(), removing the file-scope static variable.
