2009-01-29fix emacs indenting howto filename expansionDan Carpenter1-1/+2
I don't think emacs understands tilde expansion, so use "expand-file-name" to do that. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2009-01-29Documentation: update CodingStyle tips for Emacs usersTeemu Likonen1-4/+11
With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed by the Emacs cc-mode.

Describe a setup that integrates better with Emacs' cc-mode and also fixes up the alignment of continuation lines to really only use tabs.

2007-10-17CodingStyle: relax the 80-cole ruleAlan Cox1-2/+5
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 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+431
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!
