3. Non-binaries are called '*-scripts'.
In earlier discussions some people seem to like the
distinction between *-script and others; I did not
particularly like it, but I am throwing this in for
discussion.
I for one think this makes the command name dependent on a non-essential
implementation detail, so -script should go.
I had the same opinion. The counter-argument people raised when
this topic came up on the list was that it would help grepping
in the source tree.
I'm tempted to suggest doing something along these lines:
- Rename things that are implemented in shell from *-script to
*.sh, and perl to *.perl in the source tree;
*.pl is what is usually used for perl scripts.
- Install them without .{sh,perl} suffix.
Once this is done, the users nor the 'git' wrapper do not have
to deal with *-script.
