Avoid redeclaring `entry` inside the conditional block, removing unnecessary variable shadowing and improving code clarity without changing behavior.

Yup, this is indeed redundant. Thanks for cleaning up after me.

Hey Junio,

I got a review on this patch, if no one has an issue I wanted to remind it for the next cycle.

Regards

Thanks.

An easier way to ping is to resubmit exactly the same patch, with reviewed-by: or acked-by: trailer crediting the reviewer. We have 2000+ messages in 4 weeks, so "I got a review on this patch" without a pointer is much less useful to verify what feedback came to the thread from whom. FYI here are from the headers of the message I am responding to.

    References: <20260223135248.127935-1-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com>
    Message-ID: <CA+rGoLeppg4Xaoqg6+SZ=ET=ze6rXUbmjLm5UvmitmRGm9u6ag@mail.gmail.com>

The reference points at the patch itself, and just like Git commits do not have pointers to their children, the original patch message has no links to reviews on it X-<.

I'll commit this with the following change now.

Thanks.
