From: Eric Sunshine Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2022 17:49:53 GMT Subject: [PATCH] format-patch: clarify --creation-factor= Message-ID: <20220728174953.66964-1-sunshine@sunshineco.com> In-Reply-To: The value is not a percentage that ranges from 0 to 100, so stop referring to it as `percent`; instead follow the lead of the `git range-diff` documentation and call it `factor`. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine --- This is a sibling to Junio's patch[1].
