Subject: [PATCH v8 4/4] bundle doc: replace "basis" with "prerequsite(s)"
Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2021 10:23:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v8-4.4-1f3dcd42863-20210731T082120Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-v8-0.4-00000000000-20210731T082120Z-avarab@gmail.com>

In the preceding commits we introduced new documentation that talks
about "[commit|object] prerequsite(s)", but also faithfully moved
around existing documentation that talks about the "basis".

Let's change both that moved-around documentation and other existing
documentation in the file to consistently use "[commit|object]"
prerequisite(s)" instead of talking about "basis". The mention of
"basis" isn't wrong, but readers will be helped by us using only one
term throughout the document for this concept.
