From: Matthieu Moy Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:07:21 GMT Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation/branch: document -M and -D in terms of --force Message-ID: <1435846041-19488-2-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> In-Reply-To: <1435846041-19488-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Now that we have proper documentation for --force's interaction with -d and -m, we can avoid duplication and consider -M and -D as convenience aliases for -m --force and -d --force. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy --- I'm not 100% sure it's a good idea (too many levels of indirections in a documentation can make it painful), so if people don't like this patch, I won't fight for it. The important is PATCH 1/2.
