OK, rolling them all into one, how about this as an amend? -- >8 -- From: Cornelius Weig <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2017 23:07:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog' The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog' option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates configuration is explicitly set not to. On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.
