[PATCH 2/2] Documentation/branch: document -M and -D in terms of --force

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

 



Now that we have proper documentation for --force's interaction with -d
and -m, we can avoid duplication and consider -M and -D as convenience
aliases for -m --force and -d --force.

I'm not 100% sure it's a good idea (too many levels of indirections in
a documentation can make it painful), so if people don't like this
patch, I won't fight for it. The important is PATCH 1/2.
