[PATCH v4 4/9] doc: trailer: examples: avoid the word "message" by itself

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

 



From: Linus Arver <linusa@xxxxxxxxxx>

Previously, "message" could mean the input, output, commit message, or
"internal body text inside the commit message" (in the EXAMPLES
section). Avoid overloading this term by using the appropriate meanings
explicitly.
