From: Tuomas Ahola Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:19:44 +0000 (+0300) Subject: doc: config: terminate runaway lists X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3eb61fda62191dc12c2a215a3775bdab2ca7f1a6;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git doc: config: terminate runaway lists There are many places in git-config(1) where paragraphs that should logically come after a list are instead appended to the last item of the list. This is a well-documented quirk of AsciiDoc, and can be mitigated by enclosing the list in an open block: -- * first item * last item -- + New paragraph after the list. Fix the issue accordingly.
