From 11873b438faa13ff1416741bb48dbdaa8a6cc083 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Hansen Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:41:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] rev-parse doc: pass "--" to rev-parse in the --prefix example The "--" argument avoids "ambiguous argument: unknown revision or path not in the working tree" errors when a pathname argument refers to a non-existent file. The "--" passed explicitly to set was removed because rev-parse outputs the "--" argument that it is given.
