Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] Docs: move core.excludesFile from git-add to gitignore
Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2019 00:25:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f1bc7d5eb1ad15427f6d14c19c90595d09acabe5.1551947030.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1551947030.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

There was a section on configuration mentioning core.excludesFile in
git-add.txt. However, the core.excludesFile config variable is not
exclusive to git-add. Move this description to gitignore.txt to be more
generic.
