[PATCH 4/4] doc: hook: don’t self-link via config include
From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-21 16:28:13
Subsystem:
documentation, the rest · Maintainers:
Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds
From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <redacted>
Do not link to git-hook(1) from the config options when we already are
in that doc.
This implementation is similar to the updates to git-init(1) and
git-commit(1), implemented in [1] and [2], respectively.
† 1: e7b3a768 (doc: git-init: rework config item init.templateDir,
2024-03-10)
† 2: 819fdd6e (doc: convert git commit config to new format, 2025-01-15)
