Hi all,

Yup, my patch 8570d9ba31 (Merge branch 'wy/docs-typofixes' into seen, 2026-06-04)
used "docs" as the scope of the commit message.

I thought for a while what would be the preferred scope for a typofixes
commit that touches a quite wide range of the tree. And I didn't know we
could use "*".

On the one hand, I would rather let the typofix thing be simple and easy
in one commit, since the actual changes were sort of logically unified.
On the other hand, splitting them apart makes it easier to name the
scope of each commit, while it would make much "meaningless" noise. So I
was torn at that time.

"Luckily", Junio didn't say something about that, and my topic is
waiting for more comments. So it just happens when I am struggling with
re-roll it or not, I saw this thread. Therefore, could you please also
raise it again in my topic in order to  give it a final decision? (Or
start a new thread as my patch is actually in Andrew's thread, really
sorry Andrew)

Message-ID of my previous patch:
<7b502e20e9495cd4720496bd6738a1fbeb453410.1780041658.git.wy@wyuan.org>

Thanks!
