From a171dac73496138ba1ac15a6689ee5478c9a88d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2024 10:44:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] doc: add shortcut to "am --whitespace=" We refer readers of "git am --help" to "git apply --help" for many options that are passed through, and most of them are simple booleans, but --whitespace takes from a set of actions whose names may slip users' minds. Give a list of them in "git am --help" to reduce one level of redirection only to find out what they are. In the helper function to parse the available options, there was a helpful comment reminding the developer to update list of s in the completion script. Mention the two documentation pages there as well.
