Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: remove redundant 'instead' in --subject-prefix
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 13:34:42 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604163510.36687-2-lucasseikioshiro@gmail.com> (raw)
The documentation for --subject-prefix has two words "instead" in
the same sentence, making it a little bit confusing to read.
Change the order of the phrase to a more natural "Use [...]
instead of [...]" structure.
