Subject: [PATCH] lei p2q: document --uri, add examples
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:31:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211025193147.772-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

This is useful for users lacking in local storage.  Also,
referencing lei-add-external(1) seems to make less sense
than referencing lei-q(1).

We'll also stop dropping years from the copyright statement
to reduce future churn.
