Re: [PATCH v2 00/12] revamping git_check_attr() API

The patches in the earliest part of the series have been sent to the
list already; there is no substantial change (I think I made a
typofix in the commit log message found by Eric).

and a new patch got added here:

    attr.c: tighten constness around "git_attr" structure

I cannot find it on the list though?

Just like everybody else has private "wip" version to be sent to the
list, I have my own.  I haven't had enough time to cook v3 yet into
a publishable state yet.

So I wondered when you prefix the subject of the patches with "attr.c:"
and when with "attr:".

The early ones with label attr.c are meant to be "good clean-ups,
whether we decide to go with API update or not, that can live
standalone outside the series"; the remainders may have been better
labeled with fully-spelled "attributes:", perhaps, as that is not
about the attr.c file alone, but is about the whole attributes
subsystem.
