[PATCH 4/4] Document negated forms of format-patch --to --cc --add-headers

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

 



The negated forms introduced in c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc,
--no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) were not documented
anywhere.  Add them to the descriptions of the positive forms.

I can't help but notice that the options aren't symmetric:
--no-add-header clears more than just the options added by
--add-header.  It's probably too late to change though.
