Re: [PATCH 3/4] Correct word usage of timezone in Documentation directory

2013-11-12 Thread Junio C Hamano
I'll take this patch among the 4 in this series for now.

I do not have immediate opinion on 1/4, other than The original may
have room for improvement, but the patch posted is probably not it.

As to 2/4, I agree with j6t and peff that `--date=local` is more
preferrable than '\--date=local'.

As to 4/4, I agree with Jonathan that we should keep the release
notes as they are (thanks for separating the patch into two between
3 and 4, by the way).

So I do not mind seeing discussions, improvements and rerolls on the
first two in the series.

Thanks.

[PATCH 3/4] Correct word usage of timezone in Documentation directory

2013-11-08 Thread Jason St. John
timezone is two words, not one (i.e. time zone is correct).

Correct this in these files:
-- date-formats.txt
-- git-blame.txt
-- git-cvsimport.txt
-- git-fast-import.txt
-- git-svn.txt
-- gitweb.conf.txt
-- rev-list-options.txt
