X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc0~364 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=477ff5b71aca9a3d05c8f83182eeb98d7a8f92ee;p=git.git manual: Fix example finding commits referencing given content. If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files, so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would also find renamed files. However, it is also slower. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
