The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-patch-id - Compute unique ID for a patch
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git patch-id' < <patch>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch, with
|
|
whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably stable", but at
|
|
the same time also reasonably unique, i.e., two patches that have the same "patch
|
|
ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same thing.
|
|
|
|
IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
|
|
|
|
When dealing with 'git diff-tree' output, it takes advantage of
|
|
the fact that the patch is prefixed with the object name of the
|
|
commit, and outputs two 40-byte hexadecimal strings. The first
|
|
string is the patch ID, and the second string is the commit ID.
|
|
This can be used to make a mapping from patch ID to commit ID.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<patch>::
|
|
The diff to create the ID of.
