Oh, then replace both "append" and "prepend" with "append" (it was a mistake). Can you express that without having two kinds of if-exists? > But it could be possible with only "if-exists" vs > "if-missing" like this: > > if_exists = append_if_different > if_missing = prepend > ... > because we can still easily express things like: > > if_exists = append_if_different_neighbor The proliferation of these random "if_X" on the action part _is_ exactly what I find the proposal confusing. -- 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
