[PATCH] doc: 'git status' quote the zero (NUL) character

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

 



Newer web rendering of 'git status --help --web' shows the zero in
"NUL (ASCII 0)" as if it is a small 'o' character. Back-tick quote the
zero to ensure it is displayed as a full size mono-spaced font. Also
display the "double quote (ASCII 34)" in the same manner.
