From: Thomas Rast Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:09:04 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-sh-setup: make require_clean_work_tree part of the interface Message-ID: 92c62a3 (Porcelain scripts: Rewrite cryptic "needs update" error message, 2010-10-19) refactored git's own checking to a function in git-sh-setup. This is a very useful thing for script writers, so document it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast --- Noticed while helping ribasushi on IRC.
