From f070667420a9ff1004c07c29a60b2a5d473dc885 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip Oakley Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 17:15:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Modify the GitHub Pull Request template (to reflect Git for Windows) Git for Windows accepts pull requests; Core Git does not. Therefore we need to adjust the template (because it only matches core Git's project management style, not ours). Also: direct Git for Windows enhancements to their contributions page, space out the text for easy reading, and clarify that the mailing list is plain text, not HTML.
