Bug#314577: mercurial: Please spell out the abbreviation in the synopsis
The current short description for mercurial says scalable distributed SCM. However, when you first see that, I would assume that most people will wonder about what the is a SCM? From the longer description, I learned this abbreviation stands for Source Control Management. Although, the Debian policy advocates for short synopsis descriptions, it also says the description should be as informative as possible. The abbreviation spelled out would still be short enough and far more informative. Also I think it would be more stylish to start the description with capital letter. I changed the short description according to your remarks in the new upload (needed to fix a bug on alpha). If you think the short description is still not good, please reopen this bugs (with a proposition ;-)) Regards, Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
