[PATCH v8 10/10] pull: improve default warning

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

 



Also, use pull.mode to determine when to show it, and --ff/--no-ff
shouldn't squelch the warning.

Also, improve the documentation so "git pull --help" actually does
explain what's going on.
