git-format-patch + git-applymbox small issue

2005-08-17 Thread Marco Costalba
Hi, 

the round trip 

1)  git-format-patch --mbox --keep-subject

2)  git-applymbox -k

is not perfect for revisions where there is only the subject.

An example is c35a7b8d806317dc1762e36561cbd31c2530dd9c in git archive

Original text is:

   Skip merges in format-patch.


After round trip:

 Skip merges in format-patch.

I know I'm a bit annoying ;-)

P.S: I say 'revision', and 'git archive' but are very common also 'commit' and
'git repository'. This is just a silly example where a common dictionary 
should be useful.

I think 'commit' and 'repository' are more commonly seen here.

 How about the glossary, which I posted a few hours ago?

Which is very good.  Thanks.  Mind if I put it under
Documentation/ in its current shape?

  So 'revision' is the struct and 'commit object' the pointer ;-)
 
 It would be more like revision is a concept represented (not
 referenced) by a commit object.

Actually, I think it is referenced, because the commit object contains a 
little metadata, and then only refs (pointers).

 Agreed.  I personally think the word archive on this list came
 from people who have some degree of tla background.  CVS and SVN
 people would have said repository.

I'll add it anyway.

Ciao,
