I don't know why, but I haven't been following the discussion or reading the tickets. >> YES - warn on "strange" patch names http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1000 Since there's an issue number, I presume there's a real issue with these "strange" names. >> MAYBE - warn on overly long patch names (as this could cause some >> concrete practical problems for other folks, wrt wrapping) I use overly long patch names pretty frequently. In one case it is because I don't have working text editor integration on Windows, so it is inconvenient to write a patch name with more than one line in it. Also, as a matter of style I prefer paragraphs per line. I think new-line characters should be used to indicate end-of-paragraph and your rendering/editing software should manage issues like line- wrapping and other such formatting questions according to the tastes of the current user. >> NO - warn on patch names < 10 I agree, please no. >> NO - warn on punctuation I agree, please no. I use lack of punctuation to indicate that the thing is a phrase instead of a sentence. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
