[PATCH 0/3] Documenting naming rules for configuration variables

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

So here is a rewrite of the same but split into three patches,
after seeing "add.ignore-errors" not marked exactly as deprecated.

The update to CodingGuidelines goes a bit beyond how to name things
(i.e. bumpyCase vs dashed-words, the latter of which is strongly
discouraged) but how the names should be structured (i.e. no
unbounded set of things as variable names).

We may have to also be careful about underscores (there is one I
know about: gitweb.remote_heads that is used by instaweb), which
might be a good starter topic for somebody new to the codebase.


Junio C Hamano (3):
  config.txt: clarify that add.ignore-errors is deprecated
  config.txt: mark deprecated variables more prominently
  CodingGuidelines: describe naming rules for configuration variables
