Subject: [GSoC][RFC PATCH v4 1/5] doc: factor out common option
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 14:30:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250731090040.1625303-2-meetsoni3017@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250731090040.1625303-1-meetsoni3017@gmail.com>

In preparation for adding documentation for `git refs list`, factor out
the common options from the `git-for-each-ref` man page into a
shareable file `for-each-ref-options.adoc` and update
`git-for-each-ref.adoc` to use an `include::` macro.

This change is a pure refactoring and results in no change to the
final rendered documentation for `for-each-ref`.
