Subject: [PATCH] update vc-git
---
Could you add a meaningful commit message please? See CONTRIBUTE (under
"Commit messages") for details of Emacs' standard format.
I think the patch is basically okay now, just a few minor nitpicks below.
+(defun vc-git--git-status-to-vc-state (code-list)
+ "Convert a list CODE-LIST of two-letter git status strings to a vc status.
This line is too long, I think it should be fine to shorten to just
"Convert CODE-LIST to a vc status". You explain the format of
CODE-LIST in the next paragraph anyway.
+Each element of CODE-LIST comes from the first two characters of
+a line returned by 'git status' and should be passed in the order given by
'git status'.
This paragraph looks unfilled, hit M-q on it.
+ ;; I have only seen this with a file that is only present in the
+ ;; index. Let us call this `removed'
Missing period.
+ (setq code-list
+ (mapcar (lambda (s)
+ (substring s 0 2))
+ (delete "" (split-string status "\0"))))
If you pass a non-nil OMIT-NULLS parameter to split-string, the
(delete ""...) should become unnecessary.
+ (vc-git--git-status-to-vc-state code-list))))
I would suggest dropping the temporary code-list variable here, and
just do
(vc-git--git-status-to-vc-state
(mapcar (lambda (s) (substring s 0 2))
(split-string status "\0" t)))
