Subject: [PATCH] log: Update log.follow doc and add to config.txt
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 21:14:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444180473-8518-1-git-send-email-ericvw@gmail.com> (raw)
Documentation/config.txt does not include the documentation for
log.follow that is in Documentation/git-log.txt. This commit adds the
log.follow documentation to config.txt and also updates the wording to
be consistent with the format that is followed by other boolean
configuration variables.
