From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2018 20:09:56 +0000 (+0000) Subject: fetch: change "branch" to "reference" in --force -h output X-Git-Tag: v2.20.0-rc0~229^2~8 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8cd4b7c14895a055de01962237d580173e5beca1;p=git fetch: change "branch" to "reference" in --force -h output The -h output has been referring to the --force command as forcing the overwriting of local branches, but since "fetch" more generally fetches all sorts of references in all refs/ namespaces, let's talk about forcing the update of a a "reference" instead. This wording was initially introduced in 8320199873 ("Rewrite builtin-fetch option parsing to use parse_options().", 2007-12-04).
