Re-read what you wrote above while pretending that you do not have any knowledge of the "frustrated forensics" you did. Does it convey _any_ useful information? Log messages should be sufficiently understandable offline without having the web access. Instead, summarize why the change is necessary. IOW, don't be lazy now while writing the log, to save time for people who later need to read log. Something like Subject: diff format documentation: clarify --cc and -c The description was unclear if -c or --cc was the default (--cc is for some commands), and incorrectly implied that the default applies to all the diff generating commands. Most importantly, "log" does not default to "--cc" (it defaults to "--no-merges") and "log -p" obeys the user's wish to see non-combined format. Only "diff" (during merge and three-blob comparison) and "show" use --cc as the default. should be sufficient. -- 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
