[PATCH 08/14] git p4 doc: fix branch detection example

From: Pete Wyckoff <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:46
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Make sure that the example on how to use git-p4.branchList
works if typed directly.  In particular, it does not make sense
to set a config variable until the git repository has been
initialized.
