Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/49838 ## Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget, 2018-11-15 11:22 Subject: [PATCH 0/1] mingw: update a link to the official documentation Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pull.81.git.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com ``` It is a pretty neat thing that the bulky MSDN documentation has been replaced by something a lot more open, something that can be updated via Pull Requests on GitHub. Let's link to this new documentation instead of the obsolete one. I know, it is really close to the code freeze leading up to Git v2.20.0. But this is just an update to a code comment... :-) Johannes Schindelin (1): mingw: replace an obsolete link with the superseding one compat/mingw.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) base-commit: d166e6afe5f257217836ef24a73764eba390c58d Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tags/pr-81%2Fdscho%2Fmingw-update-msdn-link-v1 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-81/dscho/mingw-update-msdn-link-v1 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/81 -- gitgitgadget ``` ## Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget, 2018-11-15 11:22 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mingw: replace an obsolete link with the superseding one Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/c78e1b73f0d23657a0723cfcade916097d6abda0.1542280956.git.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` From: Johannes Schindelin The MSDN documentation has been superseded by Microsoft Docs (which is backed by a repository on GitHub containing many, many files in Markdown format).
