After you brought up this "one or more", I re-read the docs your patches touched, thinking that the author might have meant 'zero or more of A' with these '<A>...' notation. And I realized that they made perfect sense. In general, you can write: <command> ... and read this as "The <command> can be followed by nothing or something (zero or more) of unspecified kind". If <command> takes only one type of zero or more things, you can _clarify the ellipses_ by prefixing them with what kind of "stuff" you are talking about: <command> <remote>... and read this as "The <command> can be followed by nothing or something (zero or more) of <remote>s". On the other hand, you can also say (note that the ellipses stand on their own and are not associated with <remote>): <command> <remote> ... and read this as "It takes one <remote> followed by nothing or something (zero or more) of unspecified kind". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
