OK...I only agree with one of those changes and the overall patch is
basically a code style patch and a single function affected - neither of
which applied here.  I'd probably have done the else-if block too; but
there is nothing wrong or definitely better about the initial guard being
braced and I'd argue the brace-less version is subjectively superior.  Not
enough to go back and change again but still the original choice was better
IMO.
