Hi,
[ I'm using Fedora's latest package. ]
I should probably clarify:
$ git --version
git version 1.5.0.6
Perhaps man pages / functionality have been updated significantly
since that, so let me know if that's the case.
From git-checkout(1) and git-branch(1):
-l Create the new branch's ref log. This activates recording of
all changes to made the
branch ref, enabling use of date
I'd be glad if someone could explain that a bit more verbosely
in the man page
(or just here in a reply), or at least make that grammatically
correct/readable :-)
Ok, another confusion I hit (as I learn more about git) tonight:
* What exactly is the use of git-diff's "-p" option?
$ git diff
and
$ git diff -p
produce the same output / do the same thing -- the man page mentions
"Generate patch (see section on generating patches)" but I couldn't find
said section (is that referring to some other man page?)
* On my system, doing:
$ git diff
with no outstanding changes in my current working tree produces some
bogus newlines, throwing the prompt to the bottom of the xterm window.
This sounds like weird / undesirable behaviour and I have a feeling must
already be fixed in latest git (?)
Thanks,
Satyam
