Hi, everyone
I've been contributing to the Linux Kernel for the past semester and
I'm now looking to take my first steps in the git community. I'm also
interested in GSoC 2019.
I started looking at https://git.github.io/SoC-2019-Microprojects/ and
one that got my attention was "Move ~/.git-credential-cache to
~/.cache/git". But looking around at the code and the mailing list,
this microproject seems to have been already solved at 60759ba
("credential-cache: use XDG_CACHE_HOME for socket", 2017-03-17),
right?
For the microproject "Add configuration options for some commonly used
command-line options", are there some options already known to be good
for adding to configuration file?
Finally, a non GSoC-related question. Just to confirm my understanding
of Documentation/SubmittingPatches: I must send patches to the mailing
list first and after some feedback from community, send to the
maintainer with CC to the list, is that correct?
Thanks in advance,
Matheus Tavares

Yes, I think so. We should remove it from the list (you're welcome to
submit a PR at https://github.com/git/git.github.io.

Hmm. I don't offhand have any suggestions. That one has been floating
around since at least 2015. I wonder if it may also be time to retire it
(or give some more concrete examples).

Yes. Often the maintainer will even pick them up without being cc'd (in
which case he'll usually reply to say so). The main goal is to avoid
overwhelming him with first-draft patches that are not yet ready to be
applied. :)

Thanks for your interest in Git!

Yeah, I think you are right. Sorry for not having the time to check by myself.

Sorry, but I don't remember very well the previous discussions about
this, so I don't know if some presumably good have been mentioned yet.

Yes, that's correct.
Best,
Christian.

So it may be better if I choose another microproject, right?

Got it, thanks! I just asked because that's different from Kernel's
workflow. But totally makes sense.

No problem! I submitted a PR to remove it, as suggested by Jeff King.

Yeah, I think so (though you are welcome to still do it if you have a
particular option you care about; it just makes the micro-project a bit
trickier).
I peeked at the list (which I hadn't actually looked at yet this year!)
and it looks like there are several other options that should work.
