Let's see the other ones in the same list.
* initializer elements that are not static (used since 2b6854c8
(Cleanup variables in cat-file, 2007-04-21), declared official
with 442c27dd (CodingGuidelines: mention dynamic C99 initializer
elements, 2022-10-10).
* trailing comma in enum definition (used since e1327023 (grep:
refactor the concept of "grep source" into an object,
2012-02-02), declared official with cc0c4297 (CodingGuidelines:
spell out post-C89 rules, 2019-07-16).
* designated initialiers for struct and arrays (used since cbc0f81d
(strbuf: use designated initializers in STRBUF_INIT, 2017-07-10)
and 512f41cf (clean.c: use designated initializer, 2017-07-14),
declared official with cc0c4297 (CodingGuidelines: spell out
post-C89 rules, 2019-07-16).
* variadic macros (used since 765dc168 (git-compat-util: always
enable variadic macros, 2021-01-28), declared official with
56a29d2c (C99: remove hardcoded-out !HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS code,
2022-02-21).
* declaring a control variable in for(;;) loop (used since 44ba10d6
(revision: use C99 declaration of variable in for() loop,
2021-11-14), declared official with 82dd01d8 (CodingGuidelines:
allow declaring variables in for loops, 2022-10-10).
A year and a half sounds roughly the average timespan.
Will queue. Thanks.
