--- Comment #4 from Sebastian Dröge (slomo) <slomo at coaxion.net> ---
Releases are built without assertions, that's why these variables are now
considered unused. The g_assert() that uses them is a noop in releases (and
current GIT master has a release version number: 1.5.90, and not a GIT version
number 1.5.90.1).


For debug output, it's basically the same story. Adding noise to the code for
making these unused variable compiler warnings disappear when debugging (or
assertions) are disabled is not worth it and will only make the code less
readable. -Werror is only supposed to be used for builds from GIT with debug
output and assertions enabled.
