From: Björn Gustavsson Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:40:24 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Fix over-simplified documentation for 'git log -z' X-Git-Tag: v1.6.6-rc1~36^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5c931c8da2db4a8e0b5713e97cce474b6596e2ff;p=git.git Fix over-simplified documentation for 'git log -z' In commit 64485b4a, the documentation for 'git log -z' was simplified too much. The -z option actually changes the behavior of 'git log' in two ways: commits will be ended with a NUL instead of a LF (correctly documented) and the --raw and --numstat will have NUL as field terminators (omitted in the documentation for 'git log').
