[PATCH v3 3/3] Documentation/gitk: document -L option

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

 



The -L option is the same as for git-log, so the entire block is just
copied from git-log.txt.  However, until the parser is fixed we add a
caveat that gitk only understands the stuck form.
