Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] Document the output format of ls-remote

From: "Sean Allred via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 04:17:48 +0000

This iteration incorporates the feedback from v3. A capitalization
inconsistency was fixed and the 'peeled tag' / ^{} discussion in
git-ls-remote.txt was clarified.

Junio C Hamano (1):
  show-branch doc: say <ref>, not <reference>

Sean Allred (5):
  show-ref doc: update for internal consistency
  ls-remote doc: remove redundant --tags example
  ls-remote doc: show peeled tags in examples
  ls-remote doc: explain what each example does
  ls-remote doc: document the output format

          - Use inline-code syntax for options where appropriate.
          - Use code blocks to clarify output format.

     -    This patch also swaps out 'SHA-1' language for the implementation-
     -    agnostic 'OID' term where appropriate in preparation for supporting
     -    different hashing algorithms.
     +    - Use 'OID' (for 'object ID') instead of 'SHA-1' as we support
     +      different hashing algorithms these days.

     ++When showing an annotated tag, unless `--refs` is given, two such
     ++lines are shown: one with the refname for the tag itself as `<ref>`,
