From: Daniel D. Beck via GitGitGadget Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:32:39 GMT Subject: [PATCH] doc: fetch: document `--jobs=0` behavior Message-ID: From: "Daniel D. Beck" In c39952b92 (fetch: choose a sensible default with --jobs=0 again, 2023-02-20), the `--jobs=0` behavior was (re)introduced, but it went undocumented. Since this is the same behavior as `git -c fetch.parallel=0 fetch`, which is documented, this change creates symmetry between the two documentation sections. Signed-off-by: Daniel D.
