Subject: [PATCH] doc/read-tree: remove obsolete remark
Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 16:30:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180109153034.22970-1-andreas.schacker@gmail.com> (raw)
Earlier versions of `git read-tree` required the `--prefix` option value
to end with a slash. This restriction was eventually lifted without a
corresponding amendment to the documentation.
