Subject: [PATCH 1/1] git-clean.txt: specify core.excludesFile variable is used
Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2019 02:42:22 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f8bc322cc5727d9cf45037f4231f88956f07b7f3.1551868745.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1551868745.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

In the git-clean documentation, -x and -e documented .gitignore,
$GIT_DIR/info/excludes but neglected to mention the file pointed to by
core.excludesFile.

Explicitly mention that variable so that the list is exhaustive.
