Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Doc: use `--type=bool` instead of `--bool`
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 18:38:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e81bbd0e714221aac47b387e7d1e1572af32aa8f.1537375024.git.martin.agren@gmail.com> (raw)
After fb0dc3bac1 (builtin/config.c: support `--type=<type>` as preferred
alias for `--<type>`, 2018-04-18) we have a more modern way of spelling
`--bool`.
Update all instances except those that explicitly document the
"historical options" in git-config.txt. The other old-style
type-specifiers already seem to be gone except for in that list of
historical options.
Tweak the grammar a little in config.txt while we are there.
