A fast-forward is a special type of <<def_merge,merge>> where you have a
<<def_revision,revision>> and you are "merging" another
<<def_branch,branch>>'s changes that happen to be a descendant of what
- you have. In such these cases, you do not make a new <<def_merge,merge>>
+ you have. In such a case, you do not make a new <<def_merge,merge>>
<<def_commit,commit>> but instead just update to his
revision. This will happen frequently on a
<<def_remote_tracking_branch,remote-tracking branch>> of a remote
exclude;;
After a path matches any non-exclude pathspec, it will be run
- through all exclude pathspec (magic signature: `!`). If it
- matches, the path is ignored.
