[PATCH] simplify the "no changes added to commit" message

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

 



Suggesting the use of [-a|-i|-o] with git-commit is unnecessarily 
complex and confusing.  In this context -o is totally useless and -i 
requires extra arguments which are not mentioned.  The only sensible 
hint (besides reading the man page but let's not go there) is
"commit -a".
