Subject: documentation style: "branch" may be another kind ref
X-Git-Tag: archive/debian/8.4~19
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?p=dgit.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b0b4f0ca200b566c0cbcc9dc568a095bf2bc127

documentation style: "branch" may be another kind ref

The thing being referred to here is `branch', not `the branch', since
it may not be a branch.  Put it in italics to make it clear that what
is referred to is the metasyntactic variable.
