Subject: [PATCH 7/7] git-svn(1): improve asciidoc markup
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 03:07:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060825010746.GH4069@diku.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060825010650.GG4069@diku.dk>
Use list continuation to have better wrapping. This accounts for most of
the changes because it reindents a lot of text without applying other
changes.
Use cross-referencing for interlinking and the gitlink macro for pointing
to other tools in the git suite.
