[PATCH] Clarified gitattributes documentation regarding custom hunk header.

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

 



From: Garry Dolley <gdolley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The only part of the hunk header that we can change is the "TEXT"
portion.  Additionally, a few grammatical errors have been corrected.
