Thread: gist README typo
In the embarrassingly trivial department, I think I found a misspelled word in the GiST README file (unless it's a valid alternate spelling I've never seen). -Kevin

This patch wouldn't apply for me for some reason (mangled whitespace?), so I just fixed the typo by hand and committed. It seems like this README could use a bit more editing to make it read better if anyone is so inclined, although certainly the meaning is clear enough. ...Robert

I think my editor was being a bit too "helpful". I'll try to watch that. Although, maybe we should clean up trailing spaces in READMEs?: find -name '*README*' | xargs egrep -c ' +$' | grep -v ':0' ./contrib/README:3 ./doc/README.mb.big5:13 ./doc/README.mb.jp:21 ./src/backend/storage/lmgr/README:2 ./src/backend/storage/buffer/README:1 ./src/backend/storage/freespace/README:1 ./src/backend/storage/ipc/README:1 ./src/backend/libpq/README.SSL:1 ./src/backend/nodes/README:2 ./src/backend/access/gist/README:22 ./src/backend/access/nbtree/README:1 ./src/backend/access/gin/README:16 ./src/backend/utils/mmgr/README:1 ./src/backend/optimizer/plan/README:17 ./src/backend/optimizer/README:1 ./src/backend/port/darwin/README:1 ./src/bin/pg_dump/README:3 ./src/interfaces/ecpg/README.dynSQL:1 ./src/tools/backend/README:1 ./src/tools/msvc/README:4 ./src/tools/pgindent/README:3 ./src/test/locale/README:1 ./src/test/thread/README:4 ./README:1 > It seems like this README could use a bit more editing to make it > read better if anyone is so inclined, although certainly the > meaning is clear enough. I think the same could be said for many of the README files. In particular, some of them don't seem to have fully adjusted to being fact, rather than proposal. I'll add it to my list of things to consider working on. -Kevin
