Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-filter-branch.txt: clarify ident variables usage
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:22:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5126821A.9020800@hell.org.pl> (raw)

There is a rare edge case of git-filter-branch: a filter that unsets
identity variables from the environment. Link to git-commit-tree
clarifies how Git would fall back in this situation.
