From 75609a0d44d02878e6260a7a4bf2dda5310a9dd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jay Soffian Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:56:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] git-ls-files.txt: clarify -x/--exclude option Since b5227d8, -x/--exclude does not apply to cached files. This is easy to miss unless you read the discussion in the EXCLUDE PATTERNS section. Clarify that the option applies to untracked files and direct the reader to EXCLUDE PATTERNS.
