Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] doc/pack-refs: convert synopsis and options to new style
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 08:46:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914124630.154107-2-tmz@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912191509.844954-1-tmz@pobox.com>
Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in the SYNOPSIS block and remove
single-quote formatting from the command name.
Backtick-quote all option terms in the OPTIONS section and convert
the standalone placeholder _<branch>_ in prose.
Update the included pack-refs-options.adoc to backtick-quote all
configuration key terms.
