From: René Scharfe Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:49:57 GMT Subject: [PATCH] archive: clarify explanation of --worktree-attributes Message-ID: <5165A645.9090300@lsrfire.ath.cx> In-Reply-To: <7vk3obpfwc.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> Make it a bit clearer that --worktree-attributes is about files in the working tree (checked out files, possibly changed) and not the current working directory ($PDW). Link to the ATTRIBUTES section, which has more details. Reported-by: Amit Bakshi Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe --- Does this help a bit?
