+ * Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
20
+ build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
21
+ hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
22
+ to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
23
+ Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
24
+ the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
25
+ macros a hard requirement.
