Subject: [PATCH] doc/clone: update caption for GIT URLS cross-reference
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2018 13:32:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180419173230.GZ29831@zaya.teonanacatl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAN0heSrrpvRXGi1hzUuRqXcQCOJQcBcLWAWQKXrivx6tkxAsBw@mail.gmail.com>
The description of the <repository> argument directs readers to "See the
URLS section below". When generating HTML this becomes a link to the
"GIT URLS" section. When reading the man page in a terminal, the
caption is slightly misleading. Use "GIT URLS" as the caption to avoid
any confusion.

That or it was when a squirrel ran by my window. ;)
Thanks for catching both of these mistakes.
