[PATCH v5 1/4] docs: mention trace2 target-dir mode in git-config

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

 



Move the description of trace2's target-directory behavior into the
shared trace2-target-values file so that it is included in both the
git-config and api-trace2 docs. Leave the SID discussion only in
api-trace2 since it's a technical detail.
