>From cf13955d13b8b6a86dd1f6340565e16500b3cf38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 15:49:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Minor grammar fixes for git-diff-index.txt To: git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx X-TUID: c63a7eaedc72a5ce X-UID: 129 X-Length: 2247 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200610251549.34193.andyparkins@xxxxxxxxx> "what you are going to commit is" doesn't need the "is" and does need a comma. "can trivially see" is an unecessary split infinitive and "easily" is a more appropriate adverb. "case where you" should be "case were you" as it's the past tense form of the verb "to be", rather than a location (I think :-) ).
