Subject: [PATCH 01/17] Documentation: tweak description of log.date
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:20:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100820102036.GA10407@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100820101902.GA10356@burratino>

The markup "'git log'\'s" produces a stray backslash in the
produced man page.  Removing the backslash fixes it.

While at it, tweak the surrounding description for readability.
