2009-01-26Mention "local convention" rule in the CodingGuidelinesLibravatar Nanako Shiraishi1-2/+7
The document suggests to imitate the existing code, but didn't say which existing code it should imitate. This clarifies. Signed-off-by: しらいしななこ <nanako3@lavabit.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-21Rename path_list to string_listLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
The name path_list was correct for the first usage of that data structure, but it really is a general-purpose string list. $ perl -i -pe 's/path-list/string-list/g' $(git grep -l path-list) $ perl -i -pe 's/path_list/string_list/g' $(git grep -l path_list) $ git mv path-list.h string-list.h $ git mv path-list.c string-list.c $ perl -i -pe 's/has_path/has_string/g' $(git grep -l has_path) $ perl -i -pe 's/path/string/g' string-list.[ch] $ git mv Documentation/technical/api-path-list.txt \ Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt $ perl -i -pe 's/strdup_paths/strdup_strings/g' $(git grep -l strdup_paths) ... and then fix all users of string-list to access the member "string" instead of "path". Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt needed some rewrapping, too. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-05-24CodingGuidelines: Add a note to avoid assignments inside if()Libravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+2

2008-03-01CodingGuidelines: spell out how we use grep in our scriptsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
Our scripts try to stick to fairly limited subset of POSIX BRE for portability. It is unclear from manual page from GNU grep which is GNU extension and which is portable, so let's spell it out to help new people to keep their contributions from hurting porters.

2007-11-07Add Documentation/CodingGuidelinesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+112
Even if our code is quite a good documentation for our coding style, some people seem to prefer a document describing it. The part about the shell scripts is clearly just copied from one of Junio's helpful mails, and some parts were added from comments by Junio, Andreas Ericsson and Robin Rosenberg.
