The '--full' option to git fsck does two things: 1) Check objects in packs 2) Check alternate objects This is documented in the git fsck manual; this patch reflects that in the short git fsck option help message as well. Signed-off-by: Wesley J. Landaker <wjl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- builtin-fsck.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) I sent this patch a while back, and after the resulting discussion, the --full option was made the default. However, the short option help was still not updated to reflect the full documentation (and behavior) of git fsck. (This is a resend. My apologies if you get this twice.) diff --git a/builtin-fsck.c b/builtin-fsck.c index 0e5faae..0929c7f 100644 --- a/builtin-fsck.c +++ b/builtin-fsck.c @@ -578,7 +578,7 @@ static struct option fsck_opts[] = { OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "root", &show_root, "report root nodes"), OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "cache", &keep_cache_objects, "make index objects head nodes"), OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "reflogs", &include_reflogs, "make reflogs head nodes (default)"), - OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "full", &check_full, "also consider alternate objects"), + OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "full", &check_full, "also consider packs and alternate objects"), OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "strict", &check_strict, "enable more strict checking"), OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "lost-found", &write_lost_and_found, "write dangling objects in .git/lost-found"), -- 1.6.6.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
