[PATCH v4 03/26] doc: document --overwrite-ignore

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

 



I added this option in git-checkout and git-merge in c1d7036b6b
(checkout,merge: disallow overwriting ignored files with
--no-overwrite-ignore - 2011-11-27) but did not remember to update
documentation. This completes that commit.
