[PATCH v2 2/2] Document the output format of ls-remote

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

 



From: Sean Allred <allred.sean@xxxxxxxxx>

While well-established, the output format of ls-remote was not actually
documented. This patch adds an OUTPUT section to the documentation
following the format of git-show-ref.txt (which has similar semantics).
