Here is a corrected version. Honestly, I do not think the distinction between your two versions matter. Do we need a new example there? The patch to Documentation/config.txt looks Ok, but I do not think you need to say "allows to set your preference". "Sets your preference" would be enough. ``` ## Miklos Vajna, 2008-08-16 13:38 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: document the pager.* configuration setting Message-ID: <1218893893-11242-1-git-send-email-vmiklos@frugalware.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1218893893-11242-1-git-send-email-vmiklos%40frugalware.org In-Reply-To: <7v63q1lkbj.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` It was already documented in RelNotes-1.6.0, but not in the git-config manual page.

That is a frequently asked question on #git (in the past, people asked how to disable it, now they ask how to enable it), so I thought an example can be helpful. Also Jeff provided such an example in the commit message of 4e10738. If you think it's unnecessary, then just remove that hunk. > The patch to Documentation/config.txt looks Ok, but I do not think you > need to say "allows to set your preference". "Sets your preference" > would > be enough. Fixed. I also noticed that above the documentation uses "Specify" and not "Specifies" in such a case, so I dropped the "s" here as well.

Ah, nevermind. I forgot to pull before sending the patch and I did not notice the version without the second hunk is already in master. Sorry for the noise. ```
