Use imperative tone like this: Introduce advice.rmHints to control the whether to display advice when using 'git rm'. Defaults to true, preserving current behavior. -- 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
