Subject: [PATCH v3 03/10] Documentation: edit awkward references to `git merge-recursive`
Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2021 23:50:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48f72d7e0286a9cad5476292c45e811ff77596fd.1628121054.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1059.v3.git.git.1628121054.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>
A few places in the documentation referred to the "`recursive` strategy"
using the phrase "`git merge-recursive`", suggesting that it was forking
subprocesses to call a toplevel builtin. Perhaps that was relevant to
when rebase was a shell script, but it seems like a rather indirect way
to refer to the `recursive` strategy. Simplify the references.
