Subject: [PATCH] docs: say "commits" in the --depth option wording for git-clone
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 10:18:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <568F7EDD.9020003@gmail.com> (raw)

It is not wrong to talk about "revisions" here, but in this context
revisions are always commits, and that is how we already name it in the
git-fetch docs. So align the docs by always referring to "commits".

- specified number of revisions. Implies `--single-branch` unless
+ specified number of commits. Implies `--single-branch` unless
`--no-single-branch` is given to fetch the histories near the
tips of all branches.
