I wouldn't rename this variable as part of this change.  You don't reference it any new code.  So as bad as the name might be, I don't see a compelling motivation to change these lines as part of this commit.

We really try to avoid editing lines we don't have to.  If you were actually using t as a parameter to isSkipCurrentEntry() then I might be willing to accept a rename of it as part of the same commit.  But since you don't need it, it doesn't make sense.
