From fd8d07efdaf0ed5570f975c58b2ceb6500e06dd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric N. Vander Weele" Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 21:14:33 -0400 Subject: log: Update log.follow doc and add to config.txt Documentation/config.txt does not include the documentation for log.follow that is in Documentation/git-log.txt. This commit adds the log.follow documentation to config.txt and also updates the wording to be consistent with the format that is followed by other boolean configuration variables.
