From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:33:31 GMT Subject: [PATCH] you_still_use_that(): reword the instructions Message-ID: The message is overly long and may mislead readers into thinking there is recourse other than adopting the new workflow. Clarify that it merely helps them find a replacement, rather than offering to reconsider a decision that has already taken effect.
