[PATCH v3 2/3] grep docs: describe --recurse-submodules further and improve formatting a bit

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

 



Clarify that --recurse-submodules cannot be used together with --untracked,
and improve the formatting in a couple of places, to make it visually clear
that those are the commands or the names of configuration options.

While there, change a couple of "<tree>" placeholders to "_<tree>_", to help
with an ongoing translation improvement effort. [1]

Notes:
    Changes in v3:
        - No changes were introduced
    
    Changes in v2:
        - No changes were introduced
    
    This patch is salvaged from my earlier series, [2] for which it has been
    concluded to be not acceptable for merging, because of possible issues
    with various git scripts. [3]
    
    Compared to the version in the earlier series, this version adds some more
    small formatting improvements of the same kind, and also changes a couple
    of "<tree>" placeholders to "_<tree>_", as suggested by Eric Sunshine. [1]
