From 8cd4b7c14895a055de01962237d580173e5beca1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=86var=20Arnfj=C3=B6r=C3=B0=20Bjarmason?= Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2018 20:09:56 +0000 Subject: fetch: change "branch" to "reference" in --force -h output MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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).
