Hello all,
In git-pull(1) we can read :

OPTIONS
      -q, --quiet
          Operate quietly.

      -v, --verbose
          Be verbose.
...

      -q, --quiet
          Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other
internally used git
          commands.

      -v, --verbose
          Be verbose.

The first part is included by merge-option.txt and the second by
fetch-options.txt.
I choose to "suppress" the fetch-options part because IMHO we don't
need that level
of precision. But if you prefer, I can provide a patch to "ifndef" the
merge-options.txt part.

Best regard


git-pull.txt includes fetch-options.txt and merge-options.txt which both
document the --quiet and --verbose parameters. So we supress the
--quiet and --verbose paragraphs if fetch-options.txt is included by
git-pull.txt

The patch seems to be severely whitespace damaged the same way as in the
previous round.

I tried to see both versions myself and came to the same conclusion.
Thanks.

I guess this part of your message is not meant to appear in the commit
message. If you leave it here, Junio will have to edit it manually,
whereas if you put it where Documentation/SubmitingPatches suggests,
i.e.

> ---

here (between --- and diffstat), it's done automatically. Be nice to
our maintainer, and our mainainer will be nice to you ;-).

Thank you for your patience. 
Because I want to be kind to our maintainer :-), I've just finish a
complete reading of SubmitingPatches. Next time I promise : no more
whistespace mess and a commit message were it is meant to be.

Best regards
