Thoughts on renaming b4 as b4k (as a play on bifurqué), to make it more clear in speech and in search results?

I post my artwork on my personal account, but I do have an album here:

I'm self-taught and mostly I draw from photos as a zen thing to do while listening to audiobooks.

I just released b4 0.12.2:

  • prep: add ability to use markdown in the cover content (requires escaping the leading “#” as “>#” that is stripped on cover letter rendering)
  • send: don’t require vN to –resend (will resend the latest version)
  • test: don’t require running from git
  • plus several bugfixes mostly dealing with corner-case conditions

@ljs I have the same thing where it continuously removes and installs `org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default` and `org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel`. :)

@mpe @brauner it's registered to the same entity that holds kernel.org, so it has the same longevity guarantee.

@palmer @lina No, the ">#" bit is something I just came up with today. :)

@palmer @lina Yes, git has always stripped lines starting with # -- which is why it's the behaviour in b4 as well.

@lina Ok, I added this into current dev and will probably backport to 0.12.2.

@lina I am considering using ">#" that is converted to just "#" when put into the cover letter body, but that's a partial fix. You'd still hit this same problem if you didn't know to use "># header" syntax. However maybe if I add this into the default cover letter template, it will be more obvious.

@lina my goal is to avoid unexpected behaviour, so I'll try to think of a way that would both allow someone to add comments that won't go into the final cover letter (such as commenting out a Cc trailer) and do markup.

@lina It's not "accidentally" if they literally asked to be cc'd on that regex. :)

@lina I'm happy to receive any b4 feedback you have. The "#" treatment bit is really because the cover letter is a git commit and if you edit it directly with git, it will remove any lines starting with "#". I'm worried that if we treat these any differently, we'll potentially run into unexpected behaviour. :/

When you see someone using an old version of your tool that you know has a bad bug that they somehow keep avoiding.
