Yes, there are many potential places.

I think that each case should be looked at closely. But as it's not very 
difficult either in many cases, I think it's a good thing to let newbies 
try their skills at it. That's why I set up the Janitor page on the wiki:

http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/Janitor

describing this task.

That's also the patch that Stephan sent to the list before, see:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78845

And I told him that casting to (const char **) was ugly, and it was better 
to leave this file as it is.

That's the next patch Stephan sent, and it is indeed good, so please apply 
Stephan's. Thanks.

About other files, I don't care much. That's also why I left it to Janitors.

If I see that you fixed everything I will just remove the Janitor page on 
the wiki.

Regards,
Christian.
