From 41e4d69fb82cd92bbc39accc9cb2be49b7597b5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nazri Ramliy Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 01:54:46 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/pretty-{formats,options}: better reference for "format:" In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible placeholder for for the "--pretty=format:" option to git log. This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:" phrase.
