You mention keeping 'sm_path' in the notes after the commit message. I would
add that part to the commit message, to explain why we have multiple variables
that have the same value. Maybe even a comment in the code:
/* Keep sm_path for historic reasons, see tests in 091a6eb0fee. */
.. sm_path ..Hmm, you need to be a bit careful with putting 'path' in the environment (if you then export it to sub-processes) on windows (cygwin, MinGW, GfW). See commit 64394e3ae9. I would have liked to remove $path altogether from the 'submodule-foreach api' in that commit, but users and their scripts were already using it (so I couldn't just drop it, without some deprecation period). So long as whatever was being 'eval'-ed in the script didn't export $path, ... ATB, Ramsay Jones
