Subject: [PATCH 1/4] format-patch docs: avoid use of parentheses to improve readability
Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2024 05:32:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <25b90d065744c01da3f37b6966fd97d699931f6b.1713324598.git.dsimic@manjaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1713324598.git.dsimic@manjaro.org>

In general, using the parentheses disrupts the flow and reduces readability,
so they should be avoided whenever possible.  The improved sentence is a clear
example, in which the adjustment is obvious and simple.
