[PATCH 0/2] Fix two grammar errors related to the word "save"

[PATCH 0/2] Fix two grammar errors related to the word "save"

[Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget]

I stumbled over the one in git-compat-util.h while working on an unrelated
bug fix, and then got curious whether there are other places where we use 
save instead of safe, too. Turns out we do not, but there was another
grammar error where a spurious . interrupted a sentence.

[PATCH 1/2] git-compat-util.h: fix typo

[Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The words "save" and "safe" are both very wonderful words, each with
their own set of meanings. Let's not confuse them with one another save
on occasion of a pun.

Fix for typos made in 2009 and 2012, better late than never ;-)

Will queue.
