From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 07:50:31 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/5] docs: mention "-k" for both forms of "git mv" Message-ID: <20111212075031.GA17532@sigill.intra.peff.net> In-Reply-To: <20111212074503.GB16511@sigill.intra.peff.net> The "git mv" synopsis shows two forms: renaming a file, and moving files into a directory. They can both make use of the "-k" flag to ignore errors, so mention it in both places. Signed-off-by: Jeff King --- I can kind of see the rationale for the original content. Using "-k" is a lot more useful if you are actually doing multiple renames, so it makes more sense in the second form. But it is still useful in the first form as a shorthand for "git mv 2>/dev/null || true". I actually would rather just see: git mv [options] git mv [options] ... but if we are going to go that route, we should probably decide on a style and convert all of the descriptions at the same time.
