add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errors
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.
What convention? Glad you asked.
The section name indicates the affected subsystem.
The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
an unbound set of things to set the value for.
The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
this knob.
The section and variable names can be broken into
words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
the reader. These word breaks are not significant
at the level of code, since the section and variable
names are not case sensitive.
The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like
[add]
ignoreErrors
does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.
