Subject: doc/git-branch: remove obsolete "-l" references
X-Git-Tag: v2.20.0-rc0~250^2
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=94a13806fbce47de1468a49599ecb901d967aacc;p=git

doc/git-branch: remove obsolete "-l" references

The previous commit switched "-l" to meaning "--list", but a
few vestiges of its prior meaning as "--create-reflog"
remained:

  - the synopsis mentioned "-l" when creating a new branch;
    we can drop this entirely, as it has been the default
    for years

  - the --list command mentions the unfortunate "-l"
    confusion, but we've now fixed that
