[PATCH v4 3/5] fmt-merge-msg: Update fmt-merge-msg and merge-config documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update the documentation of fmt-merge-msg and merge-config to reflect
the fact that `merge.log` can either be a boolean or integer option
now, instead of just a boolean.
