Subject: [PATCH] string_list: use the right kind of STRING_LIST_INIT
Message-ID: <xmqq7d471dns.fsf@gitster.g>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqq7d471dns.fsf%40gitster.g

```
Since 4a4b4cda (builtin-remote: Make "remote -v" display push urls,
2009-06-13), the string_list that was initialized with 0 in its
strdup_string member is immediately made to strdup its key strings
by flipping the strdup_string member to true.  When 183113a5
(string_list: Add STRING_LIST_INIT macro and make use of it.,
2010-07-04) has introduced STRING_LIST_INIT macros, it mechanically
replaced the initialization to STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP.

Instead, just use the other initialization macro to make it strdup
the key from the beginning.

Makes sense, but shouldn't the subject have s/string-list:/remote:/ ?

```

Oh, you are absolutely right.

I was influenced by 183113a5 (string_list: Add STRING_LIST_INIT
macro and make use of it., 2010-07-04), which I was staring at too
much while thinking that this fix was finishing up what it started.

Will amend.  Thanks.

Heh :) I think it's safe to give this my Reviewed-By, since I've been
running with this patch for almost a year now:
https://github.com/avar/git/commit/bdf4466eb92

It's on a branch of some WIP string_list API fixes that I haven't sent
in, but the fix looks good to me...

I do not think it is all that urgent, but I do not think it is worth
wasting our braincells to remember that a WIP series is waiting to
touch and update this area again, so I'll merge this single patch
down to 'next' and 'master' soonish.

Thanks.
