I'm currently on vacation, and I am not sure if I will be able to post my links for this edition, before the 1st of September.

With bba5ca1, I have pushed a change to the Gemfile which was - to my limited Ruby knowledge - the only way to proceed after thoroughly cleaning up my Jekyll environment, which had been still running on Ruby 2.7. The new addition should still work with Ruby 2.7, but I do not have a reasonably cheap chance for verification.   Please check in your environments, and feel free to refine or revert.

I was on vacation last week too. I think it's Ok if we are a few days late. Let us know if you cannot post your links at all before September 3 (next Saturday).

@mjaix I don't use a local environment anymore as it's relatively rare these days when I want to test something. Let's see if some people still do that and have issues with what you have pushed.

@jnareb please tell us if you can post your link before September 3 (next Saturday).

Anyway I just sent the draft email and I think we will have enough material, even without many links, for an edition. We can still hopefully have more links in the next edition to compensate a bit for a only few links in this one.

This section:

  Junio also suggested not distinguishing between '<guide>' and
  '<doc>' arguments in the `git help` documentation as when we will
  have enough man pages in different sections, we will be able to use
  '<doc>' for everything that is not related to a specific command

doesn't render as expected on GitHub - everything in the <angle brackets> gets dropped unless they are escaped, like \< \>:

Junio also suggested not distinguishing between '' and '' arguments in the git help documentation as when we will have enough man pages in different sections, we will be able to use '' for everything that is not related to a specific command.

Might not be a problem in the final format though.

@chooglen thanks for noticing! I will try to better escape it.

I try to proofread the edition today. Sorry for the delay on my side.

mjaix avatar Sep 01 '22 09:09 mjaix

Maybe add links to the "Git database internals" blog series? (#1, #2, #3, more parts to come)

Also, it might be interesting for Rev News readers to read about the full line-up of GitMerge speakers.

Supplied a bunch of fixes and rephrasings with b1d0ca5 . Please feel free to further refine/revert/...

Part 4 is now available, too.

[EDIT: removed a suggestion to link to an announcement that has hence been reversed, which I had missed before.]

dscho avatar Sep 02 '22 09:09 dscho

@dscho thanks for removing the suggestion to link to that article, and thanks for your other suggestions!

chriscool avatar Sep 02 '22 13:09 chriscool

@chriscool could you also add part 5 of the blog series?

dscho avatar Sep 02 '22 13:09 dscho

@dscho Ok, I will add them all.

chriscool avatar Sep 02 '22 21:09 chriscool

I see I was too late with adding my links. Never mind, they would go into the next edition then.

jnareb avatar Sep 02 '22 21:09 jnareb

@jnareb yeah, no worries.
