Documentation Typo

Documentation Typo

[Jason Hatton]

I believe I found a documentation typo.

Documentation/rev-list-options.txt

898: The form '--filter=sparse:oid=<blob-ish>' uses a sparse-checkout
899: specification contained in the blob (or blob-expression) '<blob-ish>'
900: to omit blobs that would **not be not** required for a sparse checkout on
901: the requested refs.

I emphasized the "not be not" on line 900. I hope this is the correct place
to report this.

Thanks

Yep, it definitely looks like a typo. Thanks for reporting it!

Christopher,

This is just the output of groff--it happens to add the space padding
there to right justify the text. Or have I missed your point?

Thanks,

Michael
