[PATCH resend] Documentation: pack-objects: Clarify --local's semantics.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current documentation suggests that --local also ignores any
objects in local packs, which is incorrect. Change the language to be
clearer and more parallel to the other options that ignore objects.

While we're at it, fix a trivial error in --incremental's
documentation.
