Ok, understood: you believe that the documentation is clear, and I that it is somehow not. I would prefer to have it more plain. But that is not all the story. The behavior of the command remains time-dependent, so that a user cannot reliably predict its result. I think that this is an ill-specified option. I would not insist in removing it (although that would be the correct solution), but at least to warn the user about this possibly unexpected behavior. -Angelo -- 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
