Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-checkout: make doc. of checkout <tree-ish> clearer
Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2017 22:17:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1492287435.14812.2.camel@gmail.com> (raw)
While technically in the documentation, the fact that changes
introduced by a checkout <tree-ish> are staged automatically, was
not obvious when reading its documentation. It is now specifically
pointed out.
