I seriously hope we do not have to do that, and you do too. The section is about "We deliberately did something that breaks your expectation", "You may have been assuming that X would be a good way to achieve Y, but X no longer will serve that purpose". The latter can be optionally followed by "To do Y, you now can do W instead", but it still is breaking the established way of using Git. I did not think your untracked update was done in such a way to "break" existing uses (if it is not the case and breaks existing uses, it needs to be fixed, but I think we made sure it will keep working the same way for those who do not explicitly set configuration to adopt the new behaviour). -- 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
