[PATCH v2 2/2] unpack-trees: support core.allIgnoredFilesArePreciousWhenMerging

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

 



Ignored files can be marked precious to prevent being overwritten
during a merge (or even a branch switch). If you really want to make
sure no ignored files are overwritten, this config variable is for
you.
