From: Jim Meyering Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:39:40 +0000 (+0200) Subject: remove doubled words, e.g., s/to to/to/, and fix related typos X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?p=signed-off-by.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=711c1387b62afb935bc7c996e243c7406ecb0a6d remove doubled words, e.g., s/to to/to/, and fix related typos I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in gnulib to help prevent recurrence. Running the command below spotted a few in git, too: git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}' Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano [wking@tremily.us: only apply SubmittingPatches portion of the original patch since I'm pulling out only the D-C-O portion of SubmittingPatches] Signed-off-by: W.
