Subject: [PATCH] docs: explain the order of output in cat-file batch operations
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2024 12:26:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.1761.git.git.1724070410906.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: ahmed akef <aemed.akef.1@gmail.com>

the order of the output is not described explicitly so someone can make
complex code to parse it instead of just depending on the order
