Re: [PATCH v3] doc: writing down Git mailing list etiquette

I realized last night that there is an important distinction between
using email to work *with* Git and using email to work *on* Git. The Git
ML has its own etiquette and rules and MUA tweaks that may not apply to
other projects that use Git and a mailing list. The files
MyFirstContribution.txt and SubmittingPatches are clearly focused on
using email to work *on* Git. The file MyFirstObjectWalk.txt is also
about working *on* Git, although unrelated to email and the mailing
list. Maybe it's time we make the *on*/*with* distinction more obvious
by creating a Documentation/WorkingOnGit subdir? Just throwing that out
there.

I agree with that "realization", and think we shouldn't talk
anything about what other people who happens to use Git for their
projects should do, at least for now, when we do not even have a
completed written guideline for ourselves to follow when using Git
for our projects.

I saw Ævar's patches last night and had the same thought. Since it looks
like this is probably all going into SubmittingPatches, I'll connect
with Ævar and see if we can come up with a patch series for (1) Ævar's
re-org and pruning (2) my Mutt MUA settings and (3) etiquette related
information for discussions around patches and reviews with a (4) side
note for any general etiquette for non-patch communication.

Sounds good.  Thanks.
