Subject: [PATCH] config: correct log.showRoot description
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2022 18:14:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b7aa801c3995fffdce37d90adba9253485b616e3.1655223201.git.git@grubix.eu> (raw)
The current description is misleading because it fits a "default false"
setting whereas the default is "true" (as mentioned).
Instead, craft the wording in `config/log.txt` analogous to the one in
`git-log.txt`.
Note that the wording is not exactly the same, e.g. because
`config/log.txt` wants to link to man pages and man pages want to refer
to command options. Otherwise, includes would be the easy route to
consistency here.
