[PATCH] subtree: fix argument handling in check_parents

Message-ID: <pull.1086.git.1638324413653.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: James Limbouris <james@digitalmatter.com>

check_parents was taking all of its arguments as a single string, and erroneously passing them to cache_miss as a single string. cache_miss would then fail, and the spurious cache misses it produced would hurt performance.

For consistency, take multiple arguments in check_parents, and pass all of them to cache_miss separately.

    subtree: fix argument handling in check_parents
    
    Hello git developers. Please consider this small patch that fixes a bug
    introduced during a coding style cleanup of the subtree command. Changes
    to the argument handling were causing check_parents to fail when more
    than one parent was supplied, which led to a small loss of performance.
