Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] Documentation/git-status: mention how to detect copies
Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2021 21:00:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211004190050.921109-4-aclopte@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211004190050.921109-1-aclopte@gmail.com>
The man page documents that git-status can find copies, but does not
mention how. Whereas git-diff has command line options -C, there is
no such option for git-status - it will only detect copies when the
"status.renames" config option is "copies" or "copy". Document that
in git-status.txt because this has confused me and others[1].
