Interesting. Perhaps I am missing something (I am far from an expert in clean/smudge filters, which I do not generally use myself), but the example in ProGit looks kind of bogus to me. I don't think it ever would have worked reliably, under any version of git. > (Note that although in my example I used 'git checkout', with an only > slightly more complicated example I can make it fail on 'git pull' > which is perhaps a much more realistic use case.

Most of them are going to do the worktree first. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
