Subject: [PATCH 3/4] piem-inboxes: Clarify that :coderepo points to a working tree
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2021 14:59:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210610185943.14155-4-kyle@kyleam.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210610185943.14155-1-kyle@kyleam.com>

The properties of piem-inboxes align with public-inbox-config names to
keep things consistent, which is especially important given the
upcoming support of reading inboxes from public-inbox's configuration.
However, :coderepo, which needs to point to a working tree, doesn't
nicely match publicinbox.$inbox.coderepo, which points to another
section that in turn must point to a .git directory.

I'm still undecided on whether using a different name (e.g.,
:code-working-tree) would be clearer, but at least document the
difference to hopefully avoid some confusion.
