Package: git-man Version: 1:2.8.1-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/man/man1/git-format-patch.1.gz
Quoting "man git-format-patch": > If -o is specified, output files are created in <dir>. Otherwise they > are created in the current working directory. The default path can be > set with the format.outputDirectory configuration option. The -o option > takes precedence over format.outputDirectory. To store patches in the > current working directory even when format.outputDirectory points > elsewhere, use -o .. That "-o .." at the end should say "-o ."; the '.' at the end of the sentence makes it ambiguous. I would suggest quoting "-o ." or otherwise making the syntax clear. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
