checkout-index: remove obsolete comment
The first paragraph about flag order is no longer true and is mentioned in git-checkout-index.txt. The rest is also mentioned in git-checkout-index.txt. Remove it and keep uptodate document in one place. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Careful: order of argument flags does matter. For example,
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* git checkout-index -a -f file.c
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* Will first check out all files listed in the cache (but not
|
|
||||||
* overwrite any old ones), and then force-checkout "file.c" a
|
|
||||||
* second time (ie that one _will_ overwrite any old contents
|
|
||||||
* with the same filename).
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* Also, just doing "git checkout-index" does nothing. You probably
|
|
||||||
* meant "git checkout-index -a". And if you want to force it, you
|
|
||||||
* want "git checkout-index -f -a".
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* Intuitiveness is not the goal here. Repeatability is. The
|
|
||||||
* reason for the "no arguments means no work" thing is that
|
|
||||||
* from scripts you are supposed to be able to do things like
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* find . -name '*.h' -print0 | xargs -0 git checkout-index -f --
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* or:
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* find . -name '*.h' -print0 | git checkout-index -f -z --stdin
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* which will force all existing *.h files to be replaced with
|
|
||||||
* their cached copies. If an empty command line implied "all",
|
|
||||||
* then this would force-refresh everything in the cache, which
|
|
||||||
* was not the point.
|
|
||||||
*
|
|
||||||
* Oh, and the "--" is just a good idea when you know the rest
|
|
||||||
* will be filenames. Just so that you wouldn't have a filename
|
|
||||||
* of "-a" causing problems (not possible in the above example,
|
|
||||||
* but get used to it in scripting!).
