Dear diary, on Tue, Apr 19, 2005 at 03:48:43PM CEST, I got a letter
where Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> told me that...
is there any 'export commit as patch' support in git-pasky?
Nice idea. I will add it, probably as 'git patch'.
Eek!
It's a nice idea, and it'd be great as a subcommand. But PLEASE
don't name it "patch". I already know what "patch" does, "patch"
ACCEPTS a patch... it doesn't create one ;-).
How about naming it "aspatch" or "asdiff" instead? Or something else
(good names, anyone?).
<soapbox_to_choir>Good externally-viewed names are critical... good
command names that are similar to what people "already know"
can really help make the tool a joy to use.</soapbox_to_choir>
