Sorry about that. I am surprised that none of the other reviewers
brought this up.
I think I'm "special".
There was some other similar change a few years ago, which I
absolutely hated because of how it broke autocomplete for me. Very few
other people seemed to react to it.
Part of it may be that the kernel is almost the _only_ project I work
with, so unlike a lot of other developers, I end up having muscle
memory for kernel-specific issues.
Auto-completion was also one of the (many) reasons why I hated CVS -
having that annoying "CVS" directory there just always annoyed me.
There's a reason why git uses a dot-file.
So I just have issues that perhaps other people don't react to as
much. And aggressive tab-completion happens to be a thing for me.
Thanks for explaining. Brendan and I will get this sorted out.
Looks like my previous response didn't make it to the kselftest
and kernel lists.
thanks,
