Could all phrases contain dots? :) ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2015-09-07 07:14 Subject: Re: Standardization of messages - dot after the sentence Message-ID: <55ED3973.2020304@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/55ED3973.2020304%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: ``` sigo venit, vidit, dixit 05.09.2015 14:22: > I've found really "little bug" with dots in the git output. > > $ git push > Everything up-to-date > > git pull > Already up-to-date. > > Could all phrases contain dots? :) > In this case, also both messages mean the same but are phrased differently, which is suboptimal in more than one way. It would be good to change them systematically (not just in these 2 spots) - and that would make for a perfect first foray into submitting patches, hint hint hint :) Michael ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2015-09-08 18:16 Subject: Re: Standardization of messages - dot after the sentence Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqh9n493q3.fsf%40gitster.mtv.corp.google.com In-Reply-To: <55ED3973.2020304@drmicha.warpmail.net> ``` Michael J Gruber writes: > sigo venit, vidit, dixit 05.09.2015 14:22: >> I've found really "little bug" with dots in the git output. >> >> $ git push >> Everything up-to-date >> >> git pull >> Already up-to-date. >> >> Could all phrases contain dots? :) >> > > In this case, also both messages mean the same but are phrased > differently, which is suboptimal in more than one way. I do not particularly care between these two commands, but I think "git pull" says the same "Already up-to-date" in two situations that are two quite different ones. That ambiguity bothers me a lot more. ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2015-09-09 07:41 Subject: Re: Standardization of messages - dot after the sentence Message-ID: <55EFE28E.1060601@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/55EFE28E.1060601%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: ``` Junio C Hamano venit, vidit, dixit 08.09.2015 20:16: > Michael J Gruber writes: > >> sigo venit, vidit, dixit 05.09.2015 14:22: >>> I've found really "little bug" with dots in the git output. >>> >>> $ git push >>> Everything up-to-date >>> >>> git pull >>> Already up-to-date. >>> >>> Could all phrases contain dots? :) >>> >> >> In this case, also both messages mean the same but are phrased >> differently, which is suboptimal in more than one way. > > I do not particularly care between these two commands, but I think > "git pull" says the same "Already up-to-date" in two situations that > are two quite different ones. That ambiguity bothers me a lot more. I think both are bad in the same way: If a user sees two different messages she rightfully assumes there is a difference. If she sees two same messages she righfully assumes there is no difference. Besides: l10n... Michael ```
