So here is a rewrite of the same but split into three patches, after seeing "add.ignore-errors" not marked exactly as deprecated. The update to CodingGuidelines goes a bit beyond how to name things (i.e. bumpyCase vs dashed-words, the latter of which is strongly discouraged) but how the names should be structured (i.e. no unbounded set of things as variable names). We may have to also be careful about underscores (there is one I know about: gitweb.remote_heads that is used by instaweb), which might be a good starter topic for somebody new to the codebase.
