Commit 30984ed2e9 (format-patch: support deep threading, 2009-02-19),
introduced the following lines:

	#define THREAD_SHALLOW 1

	[...]

	thread = git_config_bool(var, value) && THREAD_SHALLOW;

Since git_config_bool() returns a bool, the trailing `&& THREAD_SHALLOW`
is a no-op.

In Python, `x and y` is equivalent to `y if x else x`[1]. Since this
seems to be a Python-ism that's mistakenly leaked into our code, convert
this to the equivalent C expression.

The conclusion is OK, but as the inventor of format-patch and a
non-pythonista, I do not think the above claim is correct, and even
if Thomas thought it was a good idea to follow Python style in
30984ed2 ("format-patch: support deep threading", 2009-02-19), which
I doubt he did, I do not think there is much point in speculating.

Both the log message and the patch text in the previous round were
better than this round, I would have to say.

Thanks.

Hi Junio,

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree, I probably shouldn't be putting speculation in the log
messages. I'll change this for the next reroll.

I'll probably keep the patch text, however. In the previous version, we
were implicitly relying on the value of THREAD_SHALLOW to be 1. This
seems a little bit flimsy to me since it's possible that the enum can be
changed in the future and it may invalidate that assumption.

I'll keep it explicit so that it's a little bit more robust and also, so
that it's more obvious to future readers what's going on.

Thanks,

Denton
