Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Clearify the documentation for core.ignoreStat
Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 13:14:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <043361f81946d5657217e6be0f22f4df350fd13f.1212152269.git.marius@trolltech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 483C6D60.7090705@trolltech.com
The previous documentation didn't make it clear that the
"assume unchanged" was on per file basis, and not a global
flag.
