Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] config: use --value=<pattern> consistently
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2025 17:14:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fa183e470c52aed223d284f17a222a02edaeaad2.1751382830.git.code@khaugsbakk.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1751382830.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>
From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk•name>
This option was introduced in a series of commits from fe3ccc7aab (Merge
branch 'ps/config-subcommands', 2024-05-15). But two styles were used
for the value provided to the option:
1. Synopsis: `--value=<value>`
2. Deprecated Modes: `--value=<pattern>`
(2) is also used in the synopsis on the command.
Use (2) consistently throughout since it’s a pattern in the general
case (`value` sounds more generic).
Acked-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks•im>

Notes (series):
v2:
• Unbreak t/t0450-txt-doc-vs-help.sh caused by source/doc synopsis being
out of synch
• Replaced the rest that I missed
