Subject: [PATCH] git-rebase.txt: update note about directory rename detection and am
Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2018 18:51:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <66479695-d17e-c9cb-4cb7-8c74e3855032@kdbg.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqmupjbnhq.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>
In commit 6aba117d5cf7 ("am: avoid directory rename detection when
calling recursive merge machinery", 2018-08-29), the git-rebase manpage
probably should have also been updated to note the stronger
incompatibility between git-am and directory rename detection. Update
it now.

Directory rename detection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The merge and interactive backends work fine with
-directory rename detection. The am backend sometimes does not.
+Directory rename heuristics are enabled in the merge and interactive
+backends. Due to the lack of accurate tree information, directory
+rename detection is disabled in the am backend.
