From: Michael J Gruber Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 16:01:16 +0000 (+0100) Subject: git-clean: fix the description of the default behavior X-Git-Tag: v1.7.0-rc2~14 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=89c38500192e00988966246420902dc946e4f4ef;p=git.git git-clean: fix the description of the default behavior Currently, when called without -n and -f, git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce not set and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean which leaves the user wondering why force is required when requireForce is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its description is wrong. Change it so that git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the documentation.
