Subject: [PATCH] cherry-pick: document rev-list options
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 07:17:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2042.git.git.1756279041881.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com>
In f873a273d1 (revert: accept arbitrary rev-list options, 2010-06-14),
we added a handful of new options to `git cherry-pick`, but did not
document them except by example. We have a nice shorthand for adding the
rev-list documentation, so let's add it now.

cherry-pick: document rev-list options
Reported on socials (https://social.tchncs.de/@arj/115099134305875190).
rev-list-options.adoc is unfortunately pretty verbose, but I think it's
still better than having undocumented secret options. Or, worse, options
that are in examples but not anywhere else ;)
