[PATCH v2 2/2] git add: -u/-A now affects the entire working tree

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

 



As promised in 0fa2eb530fb7 (add: warn when -u or -A is used without
pathspec, 2013-01-28), in Git 2.0, "git add -u/-A" that is run
without pathspec in a subdirectory updates all updated paths in the
entire working tree, not just the current directory and its
subdirectories.
