I agree with that.  I'm just saying that it would be better to leave the 
w,h tests where they are with their big comment and not to touch that 
part of the code.

The rest of the tests (testing for copying bits to the same location on 
the same SD) have to appear a few lines further down in the code, but 
that's fine.  I don't think placing all possible tests that can 
contribute to short-cutting the operation in a single place with a 
single if statement is that much of a gain compared to leaving in that 
big comment.

I'd like to see that, was there an updated diff?  In either case, I 
don't think we should disturb the comment and test at the top, we should 
just add additional checks down below where you have them now...
