[PATCH 1/2] git-fast-import.txt: improve documentation for quoted paths

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

 



The documentation mentionned only newlines and double quotes as
characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the
documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file
name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as
part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).
