2008-07-15Rename ".dotest/" to ".git/rebase" and ".dotest-merge" to "rebase-merge"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Since the files generated and used during a rebase are never to be tracked, they should live in $GIT_DIR. While at it, avoid the rather meaningless term "dotest" to "rebase", and unhide ".dotest-merge". This was wished for on the mailing list, but so far unimplemented.

2008-02-05Documentation/SubmittingPatches: What's Acked-by and Tested-by?Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+12
We used to talk about "internal company procedures", but this document is about submitting patches to the git mailing list. More useful information is when to say Acked-by: and Tested-by:. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-05Documentation/SubmittingPatches: discuss first then submitLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+5
This is something I've had in mind for some time. I get enough e-mails as-is, and I suspect the workflow to get list members involved would work better if we get the discussion concluded on the list first before patches hit my tree (even 'next'). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+7
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-03-05Begin SubmittingPatches with a check listLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+27
It seems that some people prefer a short list to a long text. But even for the latter group, a quick reminder list is useful. So, add a check list to Documentation/SubmittingPatches of what to do to get your patch accepted.
