Subject: Change logs: usage of square brackets
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 11:10:14 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <25f1f9c7-52fe-466a-8209-50c374f6c2be@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello Guix!

I wonder what is the proper usage of square brackets in change logs. 
According to 
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Change-Logs square 
brackets are used for conditional changes, the name of the condition is 
specified inside '[ ]'.  However looking over the commit history I 
mostly see another usage of '[ ]' for specifying the name of a record 
field which content is being changed.

Is it fine to use the name of a record field inside square brackets for 
changes that are only affected if the content of the record field is #t, 
like in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70341#2 ?

Best Regards,
Nigko Yerden
