Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: commit: explain the non-meaning of S-o-b
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 23:25:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091201232520.45579cbb@perceptron> (raw)
In the manpage for git commit, the option --signoff is mentioned but
there is no explanation of what it actually means. Add a brief hint that
S-o-b doesn't have a pre-defined meaning.
Signed-off-by: Jan Krüger <jk@jk•gs>
