Aw: Re: [PATCH v3 1/6] Change old system name 'GIT' to 'Git'
I think it misses GIT - the stupid content tracker in README, but probably it is OK (it is not an end-user facing documentation). I only checked ./Documentation; but this should be changed also. I noticed that these two places still use poor-man's small caps after this patch. Thanks. * Documentation/SubmittingPatches: that are being emailed around. Although core GIT is a lot I will change this. * Documentation/git-credential.txt: TYPICAL USE OF GIT CREDENTIAL This is to be debated because here all caps is used as poor man's bold face and it would look odd if we write 'TYPICAL USE OF Git CREDENTIAL'? Not commenting on other 5 patches in the series yet, but if they interact with other topics in flight, they may have to be separated out. We'll see. Perhaps it would be best to separate this into 2 series: [1/6]+[6/6] and [2/6]-[5/6]? --- Thomas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Perhaps people can proofread the result of Some instances of 'git' should be 'Git' as they talk about the system patches, and send in incremental corrections to be applied on top. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I however have to wonder what the result will look like if we replaced it with Typical use of Git credential Can you try and see how well it works? The html and manpage backends both don't change the 'poor-man's bold face' of the section titles and all the rest of the documentation uses this same style. So we should leave this as is. I'd really hate to see these patches posted again to the list and asking for re-reviewing the whole thing. Can we go incremental while parking these original patches on 'pu', and later squash the whole thing into two commits, or something?
