Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] git.txt: remove redundant language
Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2022 18:32:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c1c83c4284ba4b041694a521c3639f33561ac5e3.1658255537.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1274.v3.git.1658255537.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The documentation for GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL has a sentence that adds no
value, since it repeats the meaning from the previous sentence (twice!).

The word "whitelist" has cultural implications that are not inclusive,
which brought attention to this sentence.
