git/Documentation/SubmittingPatches, branch v2.2.3

SubmittingPatches: final submission is To: maintainer and CC: list

2014-11-13T18:39:24Z

In an earlier part there is: "re-send it with "To:" set to the maintainer [*1*] and "cc:" the list [*2*]" for the final submission, but later we see "Send it to the list and cc the maintainer." Fix the later one to match the previous. Signed-off-by: Slavomir Vlcek Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Provide some linguistic guidance for the documentation.

2013-08-01T20:13:52Z

This will hopefully avoid questions over which spelling and grammar should be used. Translators are of course free to create localizations for specific English dialects. Signed-off-by: Marc Branchaud Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT

2013-02-01T21:53:25Z

In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT, to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days. Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding guideline. Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Streamline the document and update with a few e-mail addresses the patches should be sent to. * jc/submittingpatches: SubmittingPatches: give list and maintainer addresses SubmittingPatches: remove overlong checklist SubmittingPatches: mention subsystems with dedicated repositories SubmittingPatches: who am I and who cares?

SubmittingPatches: give list and maintainer addresses

2013-01-02T17:31:54Z

We told readers to "send it to the list" (or the maintainer) without telling what addresses are to be used. Correct this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

SubmittingPatches: remove overlong checklist

2013-01-02T17:31:09Z

The section is no longer a concise checklist. It also talks about things that are not covered in the "Long version" text, which means people need to read both, covering more or less the same thing in different phrasing. Fold the details into the main text and remove the section. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

SubmittingPatches: mention subsystems with dedicated repositories

2013-01-01T22:37:56Z

These were only mentioned in periodical "A note from the maintainer" posting and not in the documentation suite. SubmittingPatches has a section to help contributors decide on what commit to base their changes, which is the most suitable place for this information. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
