Nit: The subject line should preferably use 'tree-walk.h: ' instead of 'doc: '
since it is a change to the `tree-walk.h` file and not 'Documentation'.

Other than that, the change looks good to me. Thanks for your interest in contributing to Git!

Thanks, Chandra.

Hi Chandra,

Thank you for pointing that out. You’re absolutely right — the subject line should use “tree-walk.h:” instead of “doc:” since the change is in the header file and not in Documentation.

Would you prefer that I resend the patch with the corrected subject prefix?

Thanks again for the review and guidance.

Best regards, Ayush
