I dunno. Even without trying to get accurate counts, we can see the general trend of which one we prefer: $ git grep -e 'pathname' Documentation ':!Documentation/RelNotes' | wc -l 124 $ git grep -e 'path name' Documentation ':!Documentation/RelNotes' | wc -l 28 In the above, RelNotes/ subhierarchy is excluded to avoid counting _my_ preference too much. I didn't manage to find any authoritative reference, but the snippets given on a query https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=%22pathname%22%20vs%20%22path%20name%22 were fun. I even saw some claims that "pathnames are sometimes spelled as path names", which is pretty much in line with what I saw in these snippets. > * "git branch --edit-description" can exit with status -1 which is > @@ -289,7 +289,7 @@ Fixes since v2.38 > option now implies --reapply-cherry-picks and --no-fork-point > options. > > - * The way "git repack" creared temporary files when it received a > + * The way "git repack" created temporary files when it received a Thanks. That's another good one.
