Subject: [PATCH 1/2] commit doc: document that -c, -C, -F and --fixup with -m error
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2017 19:38:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171220193845.11754-1-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)

Document that providing any of -c, -C, -F and --fixup along with -m
will result in an error. Some variant of this has been errored about
explicitly since 0c091296c0 ("git-commit: log parameter updates.",
2005-08-08), but the documentation was never updated to reflect this.
