Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] various documentation bits
Date: Sat, 16 May 2020 22:13:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1589681624-36969-1-git-send-email-keni@hers.com> (raw)

From: Kenneth Lorber <keni@his.com>

This started as an effort to understand this section of config.txt:
  When inventing new variables for use in your own tool, make sure their
  names do not conflict with those that are used by Git itself and
  other popular tools, and describe them in your documentation.
and grew from there.

I don't expect this to be adopted as is, but I've found it much easier
to discuss something concrete rather than an abstract "this is
incomplete" or "this is hard to find."

Cut from master.

keni (6):
  Tell the glossary about core.hooksPath
  Add bit on extending git to Hacking Git
  Add namespace collision avoidance guidelines file
  Include NAMESPACE COLLISIONS doc into gitrepository-layout.txt
  Tell config.txt about NAMESPACE COLLISIONS
  Add NAMESPACE COLLISIONS reference to Hacking Git
