From 57b92a77a0aeff49e82cc0bfd14eac9313683766 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael J Gruber Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:35:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] git-push.txt: document the behavior of --repo As per the code, the --repo option is equivalent to the argument to 'git push', but somehow it was documented as something that is more than that. [It exists for historical reasons, back from the time when options had to come before arguments.] Say so. [But not that.] Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber Helped-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- Documentation/git-push.txt | 18 ++---------------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/git-push.txt b/Documentation/git-push.txt index 21cd455508..aea848a782 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-push.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-push.txt @@ -207,22 +207,8 @@ origin +master` to force a push to the `master` branch).
