[PATCH 11/14] cat-file.c: Initialise variable to suppress msvc warning

Ramsay Jones· Dec 4, 2010, 19:10 UTC · lore

The msvc compiler thinks that a variable could be used while uninitialised and issues the following warning:

    ...\git\builtin\cat-file.c(171) : warning C4700: uninitialized \
        local variable 'contents' used

In order to suppress the warning, we simply initialise the contents pointer variable to NULL.
