Subject: [PATCH] git-push.txt: document the behavior of --repo
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:35:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d8bed5c1736a4a291208227b0f54c1039d67f5cc.1422361902.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqppa1mrku.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com>

As per the code, the --repo <repo> option is equivalent to the <repo>
argument to 'git push'. [It exists for historical reasons, back from the time
when options had to come before arguments.]

Say so. [But not that.]

Thanks for digging up the thread, Junio. I never would have thought that
I had been with the Git community for that long already...
