[PATCH] doc/cat-file: allow --use-mailmap for --batch options

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

 



The command git cat-file can now use the mailmap mechanism to replace
idents with their canonical versions for commit and tag objects. There
are several options like `--batch`, `--batch-check` and
`--batch-command` that can be combined with `--use-mailmap`. But, the
documentation for `--batch`, `--batch-check` and `--batch-command`
doesn't say so. This patch fixes that documentation.
