[PATCH 3/3] Document git commit --untracked-files and --verbose

From: Jakub Narebski <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:21
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Documentation based on description of commit 443f8338 which added
'-u'|'--untracked-files' option to git-status, and on git-runstatus(1)
man page.

Note that those options apply also to git-status.

Thanks -- "show" sounds a bit funny, though, don't you think?
Is this one, with a longer description of options, better?
The previous version of this patch got skipped...
