From df90eccd931dfd8e6ecbc0c18c5037c85cc115dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 15:04:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: commit: link to git-status(1) on all format options MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `--branch` and `--long` refer to git-status(1) options but they don’t tell us what `short-format` and `long-format` are, respectively. And `--null` mentions “status” but does not link to the command. Refer to git-config(1) on `--branch` like `--short` does. `long-format` is the git-status(1) output. So we can just say that directly. Replace “status” with a `linkgit` on `--null`.
