[PATCH 1/1] doc(stash): clarify the description of `save`

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

 



From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>

The original phrasing of this paragraph made at least one person stumble
over the word "from" (thinking that it was a typo and "from" was
intended), and other readers chimed in, agreeing that it was confusing:
https://public-inbox.org/git/0102016b8d597569-c1f6cfdc-cb45-4428-8737-cb1bc30655d8-000000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#t

Let's rewrite that paragraph for clarity.
