[PATCH] doc: format-patch: don't use origin as a branch name

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

 



Historically (5 Nov 2005 v0.99.9-46-g28ffb89) the git-format-patch used
'origin' as the upstream branch name. This is now used to name the remote.
Use the more modern 'master' as the branch name.
