[PATCH v4 2/3] Doc: cover multiple contains/no-contains filters

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

 



Update documentation for "git branch", "git for-each-ref" and "git tag"
with notes explaining what happens when passed multiple --contains or
--no-contains filters.

This behavior is useful to document prior to enabling multiple
merged/no-merged filters, in order to demonstrate consistent behavior
between merged/no-merged and contains/no-contains filters.
