Hi all.
This is just a fix for something in the documentation that confused me when playing around with git.
--- Comment: --------
Updated the Documentation/config.txt core.autocrlf configuration
setting documentation to note that this setting can be set at a
repository or file level by using the gitattributes configuration.Signed-off-by: Jurko <jurko.gospodnetic@docte.hr> ---------------------
Diff is attached as a separate file.
Still have not figured out how to best send in patches (working on Windows here) so this one is a manually sent mail and you will most likely not be able to apply it automatically. :-(
I am also not sure whether there are perhaps any other documentation copies that need to be updated for this. This was the only one I found in the source tree.
Best regards,
