[PATCH 2/9] Documentation: git fmt-merge-message is not a script

From: Jonathan Nieder <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:29
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

The fmt-merge-message builtin is usually invoked as
"git fmt-merge-message" rather than through the hard link in
GIT_EXEC_PATH.  Although this is unlikely to confuse most script
writers, it should not hurt to make the documentation a little
clearer anyway.
