Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Clarify semantics of git attribute macros
Date: Wed,  3 Aug 2011 15:41:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312378890-31703-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu> (raw)

Make it clearer that attribute macros do not only affect other
attributes, but are attributes themselves.

The second patch changes the nomenclature in gitattributes(5) from
"attribute macro" to "macro attribute", which I think makes the point
a tiny bit clearer.  But it is definitely optional.

Michael Haggerty (2):
  gitattributes: Clarify discussion of attribute macros
  gitattributes: Reword "attribute macro" to "macro attribute"
