<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Rui,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As per the provisional plan [1] we’re still at step 1: improving git blame. The status of this is that there are some fairly mature patches in the Git project’s queue [2], and I’m hopeful that it will be accepted in something close to its
current form.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But if you can get started on steps 2 & 3 i.e. making forks available with the possible changes applied then that would be great. My hope is that once everyone can see what the options really look like then it will be easier to reach consensus.</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sure, I'll try to do that. I'll probably start with finding identifiers and typenames that will conflict after the naming scheme change and rename them so that they won't conflict. The number of such symbols would hopefully be small, and submitting such renaming changes wouldn't be distracting. After that, I think I can create a mechanical change to rename variables to see how it will look like.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB"><div class="m_6014060592539761735gmail-m_2357972737193542758WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt">Reading through this thread, looks like we can agree that we want to change the local variable naming scheme so that they start with a lowercase letter. Besides that, there were discussions about lower_case, camelCase,
m_ prefix, and each argument seems as convincing as others. I'm not sure what is the decision making process in a situation like this.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Git is on its way to learning how to ignore commits, allowing us to do variable renaming and other small refactorings without breaking git blame.<br>
<br>
It's like git-hyper-blame [1] but significantly more powerful as it uses fuzzy matching to match lines, including lines that may have been split or joined.<br>
<br>
A preview release of Git with this new feature is at: <a href="https://github.com/mplatings/git/releases/tag/ignore-rev" target="_blank">
https://github.com/mplatings/git/releases/tag/ignore-rev</a><br>
<br>
Some of you have told me that you already have to spend time running git blame multiple times to look past uninteresting commits so I'd love for you to give this feature a try and see if it helps you. Your feedback will be very valuable.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Michael<br>
