I agree about this as well, but that will perhaps be handled in some
separate patch for the git-branch(1) man page.
If you truly agree with the longer term plan, which includes removal
of the bullet points your patch updates, then reviewing further on
that patch becomes a waste of time in the larger picture, doesn't
it?
Hmm, it doesn't seem like a waste of time and effort to me, because
the first patch would move/add the descriptions of the <oldbranch>
and <newbranch> arguments to the descriptions of the branch copy and
rename operations in the "Options" section.
This needs to be done anyway, if you agree. The following patch would
either dissolve as many sentences from the "Description" section into
the "Options" section, or have those sentences converted into some
kind of more readable prose.
I hope you agree.
"Will be deferred to some later time, let's take this small update
as-is" has already been said back then. Let's not do that again
this time.
Oh, I've also heard that too many times, and I also know where such
an approach usually leads. Nowhere. :)
