Hi

I guess it was an intentional choice to not use an “area” in the commit
message?

I found this similar patch which used `*` as the area: abcb66c614c (*:
fix typos which duplicate a word, 2021-06-11); review here:

This would be more conventional:

    Used regex to find these typos:

        (?<!struct )(?<=\s)([a-z]{1,}) \1(?=\s)

Either that or code fence (MarkDown style).

I can confirm that this patch only does that.  Except:

Here the doubled “that” is replaced with “the” which makes the sentence
correct.  Good.

There are also no grammatically correct “that that” constructs that have
been removed.

I was wondering if typo fixes are done for released-released versions
(not going through RC).  But the aforementioned patch abcb66c614c does
fix a release note or two for some old versions.

I think many projects also use the "global:" prefix to denote changes
all over the place. We also do this in Git, even though I should
probably say that all patches that do have that prefix are from myself
:P In any case, I don't have a strong opinion here.

I forgot to mention that “treewide” is used to a decent degree.  :)

Yes, I think in any case we can blame Patrick for setting the convention
here ;-).

(For what it's worth, I have occasionally used '*:' in the past, but I
don't think it matters so long as we use something to avoid 99.9% of
commits being prefixed with an area and having a few odd ones stuck
out).

Thanks,
Taylor

Thanks for a careful review.
