Subject: [PATCH v3 02/10] directory-rename-detection.txt: small updates due to merge-ort optimizations
Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2021 23:50:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <69fa233483cbbed1f93524e63a681ade64951943.1628121054.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1059.v3.git.git.1628121054.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>
In commit 0c4fd732f0 ("Move computation of dir_rename_count from
merge-ort to diffcore-rename", 2021-02-27), much of the logic for
computing directory renames moved into diffcore-rename.
directory-rename-detection.txt had claims that all of that logic was
found in merge-recursive. Update the documentation.
