Subject: [PATCH 1/6] RelNotes/2.54.0: fix typos and grammar
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 23:36:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0cfc298870405cda95d382f3eab827c5034bf68.1776382591.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2092.git.1776382591.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>
Fix various issues in the release notes -- missing/wrong articles, typo,
indentation, quote consistency, and wording improvement or corrections.
Other than the indentation fix for "The way combined list-object filter
options...", this patch is much easier to view with --color-words.
