Amended to prevent
Curly brackets around single-line body:
src/util/virnetdevopenvswitch.c:226-228:
if (strlen(*migrate) > 0) {
(*migrate)[strlen(*migrate) - 1] = '\0';
}
maint.mk: incorrect formatting, see HACKING for rules
cfg.mk:1084: recipe for target 'bracket-spacing-check' failed
on 'make syntax-check' and pushed.
Cheers.
