From e6604c3537e8b60d6cbc821e7d356924c0a0e809 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2013 15:16:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] log doc: the argument to --encoding is not optional $ git log --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value $ git rev-list --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value The argument to --encoding has always been mandatory. Unfortunately manpages like git-rev-list(1), git-log(1), and git-show(1) have described the option's syntax as "--encoding[=]" since it was first documented. Clarify by removing the extra brackets.
