Subject: [PATCH v3] pull: Document the "--[no-]recurse-submodules" options
Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2011 23:24:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D507136.2030505@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7vsjvzttbs.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>
In commits be254a0ea9 and 7dce19d374 the handling of the new fetch options
"--[no-]recurse-submodules" had been added to git-pull.sh. But they were
not documented as the pull options they now are, so let's fix that.
