From: Jared Hance <jaredhance@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 18:52:41 -0500 We used to be very casual in terminology and used <branch>, <ref>, <remote> and <rev> more or less interchangeably with <commit> when it is clear from the context. Match the help text given by "git merge -h" with that of the documentation. Signed-off-by: Jared Hance <jaredhance@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * Jared said <branch> but 57bddb1 (Documentation/git-merge: reword references to "remote" and "pull", 2010-01-07) updated it to <commit>, which is both technically more correct and equally understandable, so I chose to match the documentation. Also --abort was not described as a different mode. builtin/merge.c | 5 +++-- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/merge.c b/builtin/merge.c index 42fff38..a2105ef 100644 --- a/builtin/merge.c +++ b/builtin/merge.c @@ -37,8 +37,9 @@ struct strategy { }; static const char * const builtin_merge_usage[] = { - "git merge [options] <remote>...", - "git merge [options] <msg> HEAD <remote>", + "git merge [options] <commit>...", + "git merge [options] <msg> HEAD <commit>", + "git merge --abort", NULL }; -- 1.7.4.1.433.gcd306 -- 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
