I think the descriptions for 0001 and 0002 above are swapped.
Yes, that was my mistake; the cover letter was from a previous rebase; I had swapped the order afterward and forgot to change the message accordingly. On 14 August 2014 01:08, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:
Lines should ordinarily be at most 80 columns.
I'm well aware, as you'll recall I submitted a few 80-column fixes last week; however, this restriction becomes a bit more nebulous when tab characters are involved. Nonetheless, I've tried to fix this up in the forthcoming reroll. On 14 August 2014 03:31, Alan Barrett <apb@cequrux.com> wrote:
It's much easier to read if the tabs are used to to make the columns line up nicely (in a display that's configured for one tab every 8 columns, in the traditional way), and that sometimes needs more than one tab.
On the contrary, tabs shouldn't be used for alignment. I agree, though, that it's nicer to have things line up, so I've endeavored to use spaces for that in the forthcoming reroll. On 14 August 2014 01:08, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:
The best way to understand the Link directive is to know that it's inspired by the Unix ln command. If you know that, it's clear; if not, the header's not going to save you.
Then let's just put one "# Link" header in backward. Reroll forthcoming... -- Tim Parenti
