From 47ee06f1224cc355d0d5fffb0a65b831790b2845 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2008 04:57:44 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Document the color.interactive semantics There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive description: 1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even though there are no other interactive commands which currently use it 2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies only to displays and prompts.
