Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] Documentation/git-bundle.txt: mention full backup example
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2024 21:41:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e9be866f33daab2d4038f8b3f1140fe41e5f49c5.1730234365.git.code@khaugsbakk.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1730234365.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

Tell the user how to make a full backup of the repository right at the
start of the doc.

This is a requested use-case.[1]  But the doc is a bit unassuming
about it:

  “ If you want to match `git clone --mirror`, which would include your
    refs such as `refs/remotes/*`, use `--all`.

The user cannot be expected to formulate “I want a full backup” as “I
want to match `git clone --mirror`” for a bundle file or something.
Let’s drop this mention of `--all` later in the doc and frontload it.

Notes (series):
    v2:
    • Mention as a parenthetical on an existing paragraph (don’t create a
      new sentence and paragraph)
    • Remove the “mirror” mention
