# [PATCH] refs.c: remove extern keyword from function definition 2 messages from 2014-12-19 to 2014-12-29. Participants: Ramsay Jones, Michael Haggerty. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/38207 ## Ramsay Jones, 2014-12-19 17:24 Subject: [PATCH] refs.c: remove extern keyword from function definition Message-ID: <54945F68.9000807@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/54945F68.9000807%40ramsay1.demon.co.uk ``` Commit 5ed85684 ("reflog_expire(): new function in the reference API", 12-12-2014) added a new function definition which included the extern keyword. While this is not an illegal use of the keyword, it is somewhat unusual to include it in a function definition. (It would be unique in the git codebase). Also, it triggers a warning from sparse. In order to suppress the warning, simply remove the extern keyword from reflog_expire() definition.

Thanks for spotting this! It looks like Junio has already squashed this commit into place in the "pu" version of my branch. So thanks Junio, too!
