Subject: [RFC PATCH] Documentation: diff produces patches, which can be 'apply'd
Date: Wed, 9 May 2012 14:17:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18BB8318853C47BDB078EBC2CDE79D98@PhilipOakley> (raw)
This attached patch (my first) suggests a couple of small documenation changes for 'diff' based on Junio's supportive comments at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/197282
The purpose of the patch is to make users aware of the apply command as a companion to diff.
If changing the NAME text is considered inappropriate, the same change could just as easily be applied to the start of the
DESCRIPTION.
I haven't sorted out using 'send-mail' for patches yet, so I've attached it.
The patch was generated with "git format-patch -M" as per directions.
The patch was on top of tag v1.7.10.msysgit.0 from https://github.com/msysgit/git
