Hi,

the round trip

1)  git-format-patch --mbox --keep-subject

2)  git-applymbox -k

is not perfect for revisions where there is only the subject.

An example is c35a7b8d806317dc1762e36561cbd31c2530dd9c in git archive

Original text is:

   Skip merges in format-patch.

After round trip:

 Skip merges in format-patch.

I know I'm a bit annoying ;-)

P.S: I say 'revision', and 'git archive' but are very common also 'commit' and 'git repository'. This is just a silly example where a common dictionary should be useful.

How about the glossary, which I posted a few hours ago?

Ciao, Dscho

I think 'commit' and 'repository' are more commonly seen here.

Which is very good. Thanks. Mind if I put it under Documentation/ in its current shape?

I'd be honoured! Though I think that peu a peu, useful suggestions trickle in. But I can handle these as a patch, right?
