[PATCH v2 2/2] Document the output format of ls-remote

From: Sean Allred via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2023-03-22 09:51:29
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

From: Sean Allred <redacted>

While well-established, the output format of ls-remote was not actually
documented. This patch adds an OUTPUT section to the documentation
following the format of git-show-ref.txt (which has similar semantics).
