From 477ff5b71aca9a3d05c8f83182eeb98d7a8f92ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Wildenhues Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 23:02:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] manual: Fix example finding commits referencing given content. If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files, so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would also find renamed files. However, it is also slower. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
