Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: One more time, commit messages using the present tense are ambiguous: when you write “runtest() truncates the StringIO stream before a new test“, it’s not clear at all whether you describe the previous, incorrect behavior or the new, fixed one. These phrasings are better:
“X used to do Y” (old behavior) “X now does Z” (new) “make X do Z” (new) ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12400> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
