From: SZEDER Gábor Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2018 00:05:44 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Documentation/git.txt: clarify that GIT_TRACE=/path appends X-Git-Tag: v2.19.2~35^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/fa0aeea770666e5104cfa4decb6a480e59868165?ds=inline;hp=--cc Documentation/git.txt: clarify that GIT_TRACE=/path appends The current wording of the description of GIT_TRACE=/path/to/file ("... will try to write the trace messages into it") might be misunderstood as "overwriting"; at least I interpreted it that way on a cursory first read. State it more explicitly that the trace messages are appended.
