The "git mv" synopsis shows two forms: renaming a file, and moving files into a directory. They can both make use of the "-k" flag to ignore errors, so mention it in both places. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I can kind of see the rationale for the original content. Using "-k" is a lot more useful if you are actually doing multiple renames, so it makes more sense in the second form. But it is still useful in the first form as a shorthand for "git mv 2>/dev/null || true". I actually would rather just see: git mv [options] <source> <destination> git mv [options] <source>... <destination> but if we are going to go that route, we should probably decide on a style and convert all of the descriptions at the same time.
