From 4057deb5de110176ac19519177654108607b685c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2006 01:35:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] core.logallrefupdates create new log file only for branch heads. It used to mean "create log file for any ref that is updated", but now it creates new log files only for branch heads. The old behaviour made this configuration less useful than otherwise it would be; automatically creating log file for tags is almost always not useful.
