Subject: git.el: Try to reuse an existing buffer when running git-status.
X-Git-Tag: v1.4.2-rc2~19
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=73389f12bf0ef39820685a322527fab549676f33;p=git.git

git.el: Try to reuse an existing buffer when running git-status.

By default, running git-status again will now reuse an existing buffer
that displays the same directory. The old behavior of always creating
a new buffer can be obtained by customizing the git-reuse-status-buffer
option.
