[PATCH v2 06/22] git-remote-mediawiki: Rewrite unclear line of instructions

Subroutines' parameters should be affected to variable before doing anything
else
Besides, existing instruction affected a variable inside a "if", which break
Git's coding style

[PATCH v2 07/22] git-remote-mediawiki: Change style of some regular expressions

[Célestin Matte]

- Remove m modifier when useless (m// and // was used randomly; this makes the
code more coherent)
- Remove stringy split (split('c', ...) instead of split(/c/, ...))
- Use {}{} instead of /// when slashes are used inside the regexp so as not to
escape it.
A "split ' '" is turned into a "split / /", which changes its behaviour: the old
method matched a run of whtespaces (/\s*/), while the new one will match a
single whitespace, which is what we want here.

of the local variable prevents future possible misunderstanding.

[PATCH v2 16/22] git-remote-mediawiki: Modify strings for a better coding-style

[Célestin Matte]

- strings which don't need interpolation are single-quoted for more clarity and
slight gain of performance
- interpolation is preferred over concatenation in many cases, for more clarity
- variables are always used with the ${} operator inside strings
- strings including double-quotes are written with qq() so that the quotes do
not have to be escaped

[PATCH v2 17/22] git-remote-mediawiki: Brace file handles for print for more clarity

[Célestin Matte]

This follows the following rule:
InputOutput::RequireBracedFileHandleWithPrint (Severity: 1)
    The `print' and `printf' functions have a unique syntax that supports an
    optional file handle argument. Conway suggests wrapping this argument in
    braces to make it visually stand out from the other arguments. When you
    put braces around any of the special package-level file handles like
    `STDOUT', `STDERR', and `DATA', you must the `'*'' sigil or else it
    won't compile under `use strict 'subs''.

      print $FH   "Mary had a little lamb\n";  #not ok
      print {$FH} "Mary had a little lamb\n";  #ok

      print   STDERR   $foo, $bar, $baz;  #not ok
      print  {STDERR}  $foo, $bar, $baz;  #won't compile under 'strict'
      print {*STDERR}  $foo, $bar, $baz;  #perfect!

Re: [PATCH v2 07/22] git-remote-mediawiki: Change style of some regular expressions

When you split up 1/22 from v1 into distinct patches, review became
much easier. The same can be done here (IMHO). The above bullet points
are each conceptually distinct (even if they may happen to overlap
textually in some cases).

The phrase "which is what we want here" does not convey much. Taking a
hint from Junio's responses explaining why he finds this subtle change
acceptable, perhaps a paragraph like this might be appropriate:

  Note the special case split(' ') for which Perl splits on runs of
  whitespace, whereas split(/ /) splits on exactly one space.  In
  other contexts, changing split(' ') to split(/ /) could potentially
  be a regression, however, here, when parsing the output of
  "rev-list --parents", whose output SHA-1's are each separated by a
  single space, splitting on a single space is perfectly correct.

The change from SLASH_REPLACEMENT to $SLASH_REPLACEMENT should have
happened in patch 2/22 where 'constant' was replaced with 'Readonly'.

This looks fishy. In Perl, '\n' is not a newline, but instead a
literal backslash followed by an "n". The output of "rev-list
--first-parent" is line-oriented, so this looks like a bug in the
original code, which you may want to fix it in a separate patch to
make it clear that this is an actual bug fix, distinct from the
otherwise mechanical change of split('x') to split(/x/).

These two changes are unrelated and could be split into distinct
patches (IMHO, though others may disagree).

Better. A few minor nits:

The new subroutine is only parsing/invoking a single command at a time
from the input line rather than multiple commands, so the name
parse_commands() is slightly misleading. Perhaps parse_command() would
be more appropriate.

Now that the functionality has been pushed into a subroutine, it does
not necessarily need to be accessing global @cmd. It might be
appropriate to pass @cmd as an argument to parse_command() (or not
depending upon your preference).

The "Unknown command. Aborting" case indicates a failure. It's pretty
typical for failures to return false rather than true. The resulting
conditional would then read a bit more idiomatically:

  if (!parse_command(\@cmd)) {
    last;
  }

Conflict information is not interesting to reviewers or even in final
commit messages since (hopefully) you will have resolved conflicts
before committing. They can be stripped.

What does this series apply on top of? The existing version in "master"
does not have "use Readonly" in it at all. The first version of your
series introduced that line, but here it is shown as an existing line.
Did you miss a commit when putting your patches together?

What advantage does this have over "use constant"? I do not mind
following guidelines from perlcritic if they are a matter of style, but
in this case there is a cost: we now depend on the "Readonly" module,
which is not part of the standard distribution. I.e., users now have to
deal with installing an extra dependency. Is it worth it?

Re: [PATCH v2 02/22] git-remote-mediawiki: Use the Readonly module instead of the constant pragma

[Benoît Person]

The major drawback of using perl `constant` is the fact that they do
not interpolate like variables in most of the contexts (those who
automatically quotes barewords). Like said on Perl Monks here [1], you
have to do some "tricks" depending on the context in which you're
using the constant and that's not really "clean".

But maybe trading clean for another package is not worth it. I just
searched for alternatives way of doing it and none seems to be in the
core packages so maybe we should just drop this.

Oh yes, part of this commit went into the previous one, which was not
formated as an email when I did my git-format-patch. I should check my
patches more carefully before sending them. Sorry for this.

Like Benoit said, the problem is that they sometimes don't interpolate.
I don't know if we should keep this commit or not.

Two distinct patches or two distinct commits?
I assumed it was two distinct commits, but thinking about it, removing a
library could have its own patch.

No problem. It is easy to make simple mistakes like that with our
workflow, but it is also easy to fix them and repost. :)

Thanks both for the explanation.  I don't see us using that to our
advantage anywhere in the patch. So I think this is purely a style
issue, which to me indicates that the extra dependency is not worth it,
and the patch should be dropped.

Same here: I'd rather keep the dependency list small.

That's the same. You write commits locally, send them as patches, and
Junio uses "git am" to turn the patches back into commits.

Oh, I thought a part of a patch was called a commit. So the question was
rather: "Should it be sent to this list independently from this series
of patches?".

1 patch = 1 commit
1 patch series = several commits sent together. Will normally end-up in
                 a branch in Junio's repo (named with <initials>/<topic>)

This commit is a real pain to cut into 3 distinctive ones. Is this
really necessary?
I will do it if it is, of course.

[I think you meant that it would be split into 4 patches.]

The final decision is up to the submitter (you) and the people signing
off on and accepting the patch (Matthieu and Junio).

Speaking merely as a person reviewing the patch series, I can say that
mixing conceptually unrelated changes into a single patch makes review
more onerous since it requires repeatedly switching mental gears
(often from line to line or even within a single line). Patches
involving simple "mechanical" changes typically are easy to review,
even when the patches are lengthy. In this case, however, that length
coupled with the mental gear switching, makes the review process more
burdensome that it need be.

Even if you decide ultimately not to bother splitting the patch,
ease-of-review and one-conceptual-change-per-patch are useful notions
to keep in mind for future submissions.

Terms "patch" and "commit" tend to be used interchangeably, as Matthieu notes.

There is no need to send the split up patches to the list
independently from this series.
