Subject: Re: Patch that modifies git usage message
Date: Fri, 1 May 2015 16:54:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKB+oNtsy4E5Y6d3VCvdrjRTsdqARu8nJPYjH5J-qUenirR8mg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAGZ79kY1ZoYrVwVVqfyB+uMGsJo59qDxbDLgyo5qygSm=CUVhA@mail.gmail.com>

I am saying so because there are some strings with upper case letters
and others with lower case letters. So there is no consistency. That
is why i wanted to keep the consistency by correcting the letters
which are to be corrected and allow the once which are to be allowed.
