Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] git-verify-* doc: update mark-up of synopsis option descriptions
Date: Fri,  2 May 2025 18:15:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250503011537.3035416-2-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250503011537.3035416-1-gitster@pobox.com>

To unify mark-up used in our documentation to a newer convention,
started by 22293895 (doc: apply synopsis simplification on git-clone
and git-init, 2024-09-24), update the documentation pages for 'git
verify-commit', 'git verify-tag', and 'git verify-pack' to

 * use [synopsis], not [verse] in the SYNOPSIS section
 * enclose `--option=<value>` in backquotes
 * do not describe non-option arguments in the OPTIONS section
