Subject: Unbalanced closing paren in help of git commit
Date: Sun, 07 Jul 2024 12:33:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o7792xgu.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)

Hello List

The second line of the help message for git commit looks like this:

    [--dry-run] [(-c | -C | --squash) <commit> | --fixup [(amend|reword):]<commit>)]

See for example https://gitirc.eu/git-commit.html. It has two opening
parens and three closing parens. <commit> ends with a closing paren
before the closing bracket. Me and gsish (on IRC) suspect this is a
misstake.

What do you think?

Please reply all, not suscribed to the list.

Best regards

Tomas
