Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-rev-list.txt: Correct description for multiple arguments
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 09:58:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1249459117-3853-1-git-send-email-git@drmicha.warpmail.net> (raw)
"git rev-list A B" really lists those commits which are included in A or
B, i.e. it lists those in A and those in B. Say so, because saying
"which are included in A and B" would mean those who are in both A and
B.

Patch against master.
The current description is simply wrong, which is why I strongly suggest this fix.
The upcoming suggests an extra paragraph for clarifying the use of multiple
revision arguments.
