Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Documentation/CodingStyle: fix tab-spaces mixture Coding style description has a irregular mixture of tabs and spaces in two places which is bad by any means and can possibly hurt somebody's sense of beauty.

CodingStyle: relax the 80-cole rule I would suggest this change to make CodingStyle properly reflect the style used by the kernel, rather than the current wording which is wishful thinking and misleading, and comes from the same school of thought that gets off on prescriptive grammar, latin and comp.std.c Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

CodingStyle: Document the exception of not splitting user-visible strings, for grepping Patch reviewers now recommend not splitting long user-visible strings, such as printk messages, even if they exceed 80 columns. This avoids breaking grep. However, that recommendation did not actually appear anywhere in Documentation/CodingStyle.

Documentation/CodingStyle: allow multiple return statements per function A surprising number of newbies interpret this section to mean that only one return statement is allowed per function. Part of the problem is that the "one return statement per function" rule is an actual style guideline that people are used to from other projects.

CodingStyle: add some more error handling guidelines I added a paragraph on choosing label names, and updated the example code to use a better label name. I also cleaned up the example code to more modern style by moving the allocation out of the initializer and changing the NULL check. Perhaps the most common type of error handling bug in the kernel is "one err bugs". CodingStyle already says that we should "avoid nesting" by using error labels and one err style error handling tends to have multiple indent levels, so this was already bad style. But I've added a new paragraph explaining how to avoid one err bugs by using multiple error labels which is, hopefully, more clear.

Documentation/CodingStyle: improve text layout Try to make coding style documentation look a bit more readable and consistent with the following: - indent every code example in C to first tab-stop; - surround every code example with empty lines, both top and bottom; - remove empty lines where text looked way too spare; - do not indent examples in elisp and kconfig; - do not do any non-whitespace changes.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
