[PATCH] rebase docs: fix incorrect format of the section Behavioral Differences

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

 



The text body of section Behavioral Differences is typeset as code,
but should be regular text. Remove the indentation to achieve that.

While here, prettify the language:

- use "the x backend" instead of "x-based rebase";
- use present tense instead of future tense;

and use subsections instead of a list.

I actually did not test the result, because I don't have the
infrastructure.

The sentence "The am backend sometimes does not" is not very useful,
but is not my fault ;) It would be great if it could be made more
specific, but I do not know the details.

 BEHAVIORAL DIFFERENCES
 -----------------------
 
- * empty commits:
+There are some subtle differences how the backends behave.
 
-    am-based rebase will drop any "empty" commits, whether the
-    commit started empty (had no changes relative to its parent to
-    start with) or ended empty (all changes were already applied
-    upstream in other commits).

-    merge-based rebase does the same.
+The merge backend does the same.
 
-    interactive-based rebase will by default drop commits that
-    started empty and halt if it hits a commit that ended up empty.
-    The `--keep-empty` option exists for interactive rebases to allow
-    it to keep commits that started empty.
