If you want to document it somewhere, I don't think anyone will stop you. In general, we do have a bunch of unwritten guidelines that are either inferred from reading SVN log / source or explicitly requested via review (pre- or post-commit). I don't think it would hurt to document. I don't know if this specific topic is really a FreeBSD guideline or not, but it's a good practice when using any version control system. (You could do the same thing with 'git revert' — make additions on top of the revert commit — and it would be equally a bad practice with that tool.) The only downsides I see are: 0. No one is interested in spending time writing this down and dealing with the inevitable bikeshedding, 1. Consensus may shift over time, and 2. People don't want to spend a ton of time reading rules Best, Conrad _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
