It's been discussed: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/187269 It ended up with a lot of back-and-forth over which extensions belonged to which type, and whether the C funcname pattern was terrible or not. I got sick of it and dropped the patch. You are welcome to try resurrecting it. :) It might help to read the discussion and drop any contentious names. Since that thread, the C/C++ pattern has improved greatly, so it might not meet so much resistance. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
