Ah, I misunderstood. The thing was, that the original was based on older codebase and I couldn't apply them to my tree cleanly. It would be unfair for you to expect _me_ to give you an interdiff in such a situation, especially when I am asking you to double check the conflict resolution based on that original. OK, so I'll advance the topic to the 'next' and hopefully we can merge it to 'master' before rc1. > There's nothing in Documentation/CodingGuidelines that says multiple piped > commands should be one on each line even if togther the line doesn't exceed 80 > characters, nor does it says that file names should be between quotes, even if > the file name can't possibly have spaces. Heh, we don't spell out every possible rules. That is where "do as surrounding code" comes in. As to "$1" vs $1 without quotes, I had to check the calling sites of clean_mark and cmp_marks, primarily because these functions do not say what their "$1" is, to see if an unquoted form is safe. The next person who reads the script has to do the same and quoting is an obvious way to avoid it. If the functions said "$1 is a branch name", it would have been clear that unquoted $1 would be OK, but still, what these functions has to take (especially the "clean" one that takes pathnames) can change in the future, and a quoted form is an obvious way to futureproof and relieve readers and programmers from having to worry about the quoting issues. So I think it is better to quote these in this particular case. The pipe is purely subjective readability. I can go either way, but since I was the one who was applying the patch that needed other changes anyway... ;-) -- 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
