From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:53:59 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gitcli: formatting fix Message-ID: <1347306840-14007-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com> In-Reply-To: <7vhar5oemu.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> The paragraph to encourage use of "--" in scripts belongs to the bullet point that describes the behaviour for a command line without the explicit "--" disambiguation, not a supporting explanation for the entire bulletted list.
