Subject: [PATCH] cat-file: be consistent in usage string and documentation.
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 20:23:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7vvf3ekr43.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> (raw)

Now that we have something called tag object, and a notion of
"tags" stored in .git/refs/tags/ directory, the word "tagname"
has become misleading in the usage string.  The documentation
already calls that <type>.
