From: René Scharfe Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2018 17:34:35 GMT Subject: [PATCH] checkout-index: improve argument help for --stage Message-ID: <34a13c2b-05a4-8788-de2a-d794bde1420d@web.de> Spell out all alternatives and avoid using a numerical range operator, as it is not mentioned in CodingGuidelines and the resulting string is still concise. Wrap them in parentheses to document clearly that the "--stage=" part is common among them.
