Okay I'm attaching two variations on this patch. One is a pretty
complete set of changes to fix tagging and formatting of structs to be
consistent throughout the headers. The other one is a minimal patch.
The minimal patch only fixes the svn_dirent_t tagging and the
svn_error_t tagging. The svn_dirent_t patch causes missing links in the
documentation. The svn_error_t tagging creates a problem for the perl
bindings. It causes the child member of the svn_error_t struct to show
as a _p_svn_error which breaks method access to it (and also breaks my
new error handling setup which will be coming along as a separate patch
soon). So at least the minimal patch is necessary, but the more
extensive patch might be nice.
I'll point out that we're not following GNU style on the struct
definitions. Which says:
"Don't declare both a structure tag and variables or typedefs in the
same declaration. Instead, declare the structure tag separately and then
use it to declare the variables or typedefs." [1]
I have no idea why they decided that, but I did not change to follow
their style. But I mention it because it may be useful to add something
to HACKING to specify which style we prefer here since we're doing
something different than the GNU standard.
