[PATCH v4 0/6] Document the output format of ls-remote
From: Sean Allred via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2023-05-19 04:18:12
This iteration incorporates the feedback from v3. A capitalization
inconsistency was fixed and the 'peeled tag' / ^{} discussion in
git-ls-remote.txt was clarified.
Junio C Hamano (1):
show-branch doc: say <ref>, not <reference>
Sean Allred (5):
show-ref doc: update for internal consistency
ls-remote doc: remove redundant --tags example
ls-remote doc: show peeled tags in examples
ls-remote doc: explain what each example does
ls-remote doc: document the output format

@@ Commit message
- Use inline-code syntax for options where appropriate.
- Use code blocks to clarify output format.
-
- This patch also swaps out 'SHA-1' language for the implementation-
- agnostic 'OID' term where appropriate in preparation for supporting
- different hashing algorithms.
+ - Use 'OID' (for 'object ID') instead of 'SHA-1' as we support
+ different hashing algorithms these days.

-+When `<ref>` is a tag, it may be followed by `^{}` to show its peeled
-+representation.
++When showing an annotated tag, unless `--refs` is given, two such
++lines are shown: one with the refname for the tag itself as `<ref>`,
++and another with `<ref>` followed by `^{}`. The `<oid>` on the latter
++line shows the name of the object the tag points at.
