Subject: [PATCH] git-rerere.txt: Clarify ambiguity of the config variable
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:42:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248792135-3361-1-git-send-email-git@drmicha.warpmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ygetz0x35ja.fsf@phenix.progiciels-bpi.ca>
Use the less ambiguous
"set variable foo in order to enable bar"
rather than
"set variable foo to enable bar" which may trick users into
assuming that "enable" is a good value for "foo".
Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>

I know there is no way to misunderstand this if one looks at the whole
sentence, but still I deem it worthwhile to make it easier on the reader.
Patch is against maint (git-rerere.txt does not have any more recent changes).
