valid git directives allowed in .scc files?

valid git directives allowed in .scc files?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  still perusing kernel dev manual, and section 3.5 talks about
git-related directives such as

  branch newbranch
  git merge myfeature

but over in the linux-yocto_3.19 git repo in the meta branch, there's
an example, features/pvr/pvr.scc, whose contents are:

  git branch pvr master

whose format is technically not explained in that section in the
kernel dev manual. are there more shortcuts going on here?

In this case, they aren't shortcuts, just variants. When a wrapped
command (branch vs 'git branch') is used, there is extra error
checking and sanity that happens.

Both are valid, it all depends on what the developer is trying to
do .. and whether they know how to not hurt themselves (i.e. they
do want to inhibit the checks to use an extra branch flag, etc).

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

I am looking at the manpage for 'git branch' and am not seeing what this particular form of git command would do.  Someone else is going to have to chime in on this.
