Subject: [PATCH 1/2] difftool: fix documentation problems
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 21:27:19 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1232342840-27459-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch makes the difftool docs always refer to the
git-difftool script using the dashed form of the name.
Only command examples use the non-dashed form now.
