Subject: cfg: Write "# This file intentionally left blank.\n" to empty config file.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02ac41535fee2760d30147abb5914f7e6a100712;p=openvswitch

cfg: Write "# This file intentionally left blank.\n" to empty config file.

It's somewhat surprising to see an empty config file--it makes folks wonder
if something went wrong.  If we write a comment, it is more reassuring.

The main part of the change is refactoring.  This may be going a bit
overboard, but it should make the code more obvious and easier to
maintain, I hope.
