+Subject: [PATCH] elfcompress: Don't compress if section already compressed
+ unless forced
+
+Before commit a5b07cdf9 "support ZSTD compression algorithm"
+elfcompress would not try to compress a section if it already
+had the requested compression type (or was already uncompressed)
+unless the --force flag was given. An else if construct was changed
+to an if in the commit causing elfcompress to warn (in verbose mode)
+but then still try to (re)compress the section.
+
+Add an explicit check so if nothing needs (un)compressing, the file
+isn't changed.
+
+The diff looks large, but git diff -b -w is just:
+
