            Bug ID: 273619
           Summary: Committer's guide: potential for confusion with the
                    currently given paths
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
               URL: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/docum
                    entation/content/en/articles/committers-guide/_index.a
                    doc#71-for-new-committers
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: needs-patch
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

          Reporter: grahamperrin@gmail.com

In <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#conventions>; ste=
p 1,
it's not immediately clear that doc/ means the doc tree.=20

>From step 5 and then step 9 it might be inferred that the first word in a p=
ath
represents a tree, however (to the best of my recollection) this approach is
not commonplace.=20

In any case: inference is not ideal. Instead, be clear.=20
