Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] git-cat-file.txt: monospace args, placeholders and filenames
Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2021 01:21:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6d044cf540e81ff5218e730172ab5044f7b3a139.1614763281.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1614763281.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>
In modern documentation, args, placeholders and filenames are
monospaced. Apply monospace formatting to these objects.
