No full stop. This head line is collected automatically with others and its having a full stop while the rest does not looks strange/ > diff --git a/builtin/midx.c b/builtin/midx.c > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000000..59ea92178f > --- /dev/null > +++ b/builtin/midx.c > @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ > +#include "builtin.h" > +#include "cache.h" > +#include "config.h" > +#include "git-compat-util.h" You only need either cache.h or git-compat-util.h.

RUN_SETUP_GENTLY may be better. You could even leave it empty here and only call setup_git_directory() only when --object-dir is not set. > { "mktag", cmd_mktag, RUN_SETUP | NO_PARSEOPT }, > { "mktree", cmd_mktree, RUN_SETUP }, > { "mv", cmd_mv, RUN_SETUP | NEED_WORK_TREE }, -- Duy
