Sat 27 Sep 2003 07:27:46 AM UTC, original submission:
  • Rename the `logs', `add-log' and `remove-log' commands to `log-versions', `add-log-version' and `remove-log-version'.
  • Rename the `log-ls' command to `logs'.
  • Do a similar renaming of internal functions.

This is the change I posted about on the mailing list, plus additional changes to the `add/remove-log' commands, and internal equivalents.

While doing this patch, I realized that things are more involved than I thought -- the term `log' is used sort of schizophrenically within the tla source; its general meaning seems to have changed over time from referring to the set of patch-log-entries for a given version, to referring to a particular entry.

This patch makes the usage consistant by preferring the latter usage, and using the term `log version' to refer to the set of logs for a version. This usage -- at least using `log' to mean a single entry -- seems to be what's used when people talk about the concept on the mailing list.

I don't know if this is exactly the right change, but I think that terms ought to at least be used consistently (it was fairly confusing before, I think).

[I've also made corresponding changes to the documentation, which I'll post as a separate bug.]
