Re: [PATCH 00/23] http*: refactor (v6)

Tay Ray Chuan [off-list ref] writes:

Junio, this replaces the entire 'rc/http-push' topic.

Changes from the previous patch series:

- add a list of functions added (patch #15)

- use back the die()'s like in the original (patch #16)

Thanks, will queue, but please double check the result after I push it
out, as I found some other changes not listed above, relative to what was
queued in 'pu' (I am not complaining; I am asking your extra set of
eyeballs in case I somehow screwed up applying your series to my tree).

 - return value of fetch_indices() is 0 when http_get_info_packs() returns
   HTTP_MISSING_TARGET (both in http-push.c and http-walker.c);

 - break the function definition of run_request_queue() by removing "void"
   from the parameter list ("send out fetch requests on queue" -- no need
   to resend, I fixed it up again while applying);

 - update the error checking in transport.c:get_refs_via_curl() to make it
   look more similar to what are in fetch_indices() in both http-push.c and
   http-walker.c.

 - add unused "cleanup:" label to get_refs_via_curl() in transport.c
   (again no need to resend, I fixed it up while applying);

 - add back a few missing "->local = NULL" I screwed up while applying the
   previous series.

By the way, this is not your fault at all, but for a patch series
description, "shortlog" is a sucky way, as we can see below.  When you
talk about "patch #15", the reader cannot find which one you are talking
about but has to go back to the MUA, so the list is useless for that
purpose.

The output of "shortlog" in an e-mail message is wonderful when you are a
subsystem maintainer who bundles many people's work and are sending out a
pull request (i.e.  you are transferring the whole graph in "take it or
reject all" fashion, and you can refer to an individual changeset with its
commit object name).

But I think a cover letter to a patch series should serve as an easy index
from patch number to the title in some way, and "shortlog" is not suitable
for that eapecially for a multi-author series.
