Subject: [PATCH] diff: document diff-filter exclusion
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:20:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqq7fcoqb5a.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)
In v1.8.5 days, 7f2ea5f0 (diff: allow lowercase letter to specify
what change class to exclude, 2013-07-17) taught the "--diff-filter"
mechanism to take lowercase letters as exclusion, but we forgot to
document it.
