From: Kevin Ballard Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:16:59 GMT Subject: [PATCH] filter-branch: Fix word usage in documentation Message-ID: <1209140219-79259-1-git-send-email-kevin@sb.org> The documentation for --commit-filter in git-filter-branch talks about setting multiple parents for the "ancestors of the original commit". This is logically impossible. I believe the intended word was "descendants".
