[PATCH v2 04/15] user-manual: Use git branch --merged

From: W. Trevor King <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:56:06
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

From: "W. Trevor King" <redacted>

Use 'git branch --merged origin'.  This feature was introduced by
049716b (branch --merged/--no-merged: allow specifying arbitrary
commit, 2008-07-08), after the documentation that's being replaced
moved into the manual with 9e2163ea (user-manual: move
howto/using-topic-branches into manual, 2007-05-13).
