Okay, trying again using git-format-patch...
I was recently trying to work with the %a conversion specifier in
printf(3), and found a couple of issues with the man page:
1. The references to "decimal point" in the context of the
hexadecimal representation of %a strike me as wrong;
the first patch changes these to refer to the "radix point"
instead.
2. It took me some effort, ultimately having to track down a
copy of a relevant standards document, in order to discover
and be confident about how to interpret the "d" portion of
the output; the second patch adds some clarity on this point.
(This text incorporates the change suggested by Jonathan Wakely
relating to my earlier, not-git-am-friendly, submission.)
