nil check for multiGet pointless?

[mrusme]

I'm looking at the following code and I'm wondering whether it makes sense:

go-webdav/carddav/client.go

Lines 308 to 315 in 13fa812

	propReq, err := encodeAddressPropReq(&multiGet.DataRequest)
	if err != nil {
	return nil, err
	}
	addressbookMultiget := addressbookMultiget{Prop: propReq}
	if multiGet == nil || len(multiGet.Paths) == 0 {

From what I see multiGet cannot be nil, because &multiGet.DataRequest would throw an invalid memory address / nil pointer error. Hence the check if multiGet == nil seems kind of pointless here.

Either that check should happen earlier or not at all, imho.
