From 58be11432edfe2fc9887266fe9dbc450b5547e78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evan Gates Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2023 14:24:59 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] git-config: fix misworded --type=path explanation When `--type=` was added as a prefered alias for `--` by fb0dc3bac1 (builtin/config.c: support `--type=` as preferred alias for `--`), the explanation for the path type was reworded. Whereas the previous explanation said "expand a leading `~`" this was changed to "adding a leading `~`". Change "adding" to "expanding" to correctly explain the canonicalization.
