And maybe we'll make Git even more useful in the process. This part I _could_ actually buy; even though I do not think moving files without much reason is a good project hygine, it does happen in real life, and we would want to keep things smooth for real people. >> > 5) Rename t/ to testsuite/ so this doesn't look like some garbage >> > leftover.

You sound like an old fart now! ;-) If we make the top-level directory lean enough, we probably can tab complete after typing just "cd t" to go to testsuite/ or tests/ or whatever you come up with, so "more typing" is not a huge issue to me personally. I however think the directory name "t/" is not our invention but what we took from somebody else (perhaps Perl?), and I suspect some people expect to find tests under there since we have had them there for a long time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
