Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/fast-import: put explanation of M 040000 <dataref> "" in context
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 20:22:35 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110116022234.GA28452@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1286681415-1831-1-git-send-email-david.barr@cordelta.com>
Omit needless words ("Additionally ... <path> may also" is redundant).
While at it, place the explanation of this special case after the
general rules for paths to provide the reader with some context.
