Some feeling tells me that it may be better to leave convert_to_working_tree()
as it is.
And change convert_to_working_tree_internal as suggested:
int convert_to_working_tree(const char *path, const char *src, size_t len,
struct strbuf *dst)
{
- return convert_to_working_tree_internal(path, src, len, dst, 0);
+ return convert_to_working_tree_internal(path, src, len, dst, NULL, 0);
}
