Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] name-rev: deprecate --stdin in favor of --annotate-stdin

From: "John Cai via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2022 14:49:34 +0000

Introduce a --annotate-stdin that is functionally equivalent of --stdin.
--stdin does not behave as --stdin in other subcommands, such as
pack-objects whereby it takes one argument per line. Since --stdin can be a
confusing and misleading name, the goal is to rename it to --annotate-stdin.

This is the first step in a process of eventually fully deprecating --stdin.
This change also adds a warning to --stdin warning that it will be removed
in the future.

See https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email-masked]/ for discussion.

changes since v3:

 * use strbuf_getline instead of strbuf_getwholeline (based on Junio's
   feedback)
 * fixed commit message s/annotate-text/annotate-stdin (based on Junio's
   feedback)
 * since strbuf_getline does not keep the trailing terminator, add back '\n'
   with strbuf_addchr
 * reordered documentation blocks based on (Philip Oakley's feedback)
 * fixed doc typos in example block
