From acee42d3e5a2855cfa3b33baf3728f34fe6fb33f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mirko Faina Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 20:48:09 +0100 Subject: docs: fix --commit-list-format related entries Documentation specifies that "git format-patch" would default to format.commitListFormat if --commit-list-format is not given, but doesn't specify the default if the format.commitListFormat is not set. The text for --cover-letter is also obsolete as the commit list can now be something other than a shortlog. Document to reflect changes.
