[PATCH v3 04/12] clean: do not pass the whole structure when it is not necessary

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Aug 3, 2025, 06:52 UTC
Message-ID
<20250803065304.3325286-5-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<20250803065304.3325286-1-gitster@pobox.com>

The callee parse_choice() only needs to access a NUL-terminated string; instead of insisting to take a pointer to a strbuf, just take a pointer to a character array.
