branch: master
commit 1687cda47b5d273688ace5e785d3868b6263bfaf
Author: Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>
Commit: Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>

    Further tweaks to the user manual about shell-command-buffer-name
    
    * doc/emacs/misc.texi (Single Shell): Reintroduce the actual
    buffer names in the user manual (bug#39138), but keep the
    references to the variables.  It's easier for people reading the
    user manual to deal with actual names.
