[PATCH v4 5/7] diff: simplify parsing of diff.colormovedws

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Aug 3, 2025, 06:52 UTC
Message-ID
<20250803065223.3325111-6-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<20250803065223.3325111-1-gitster@pobox.com>

The code to parse this configuration variable, whose value is a comma-separated list of known tokens like "ignore-space-change" and "ignore-all-space", uses string_list_split() to split the value into pieces, and then places each piece of string in a strbuf to trim, before comparing the result with the list of known tokens.

Thanks to the previous steps, now string_list_split() can trim the resulting pieces before it places them in the string list. Use it to simplify the code.
