I do not know offhand if the above formats well with AsciiDoc. You may have to do it like this: * The first line of the bulletted paragraph is followed by the second and subsequent lines indented to align with the first one. The first bullet point may be somewhat misleading, though. Nothing stops your script you use in filter-branch from processing blobs belonging to a single tree in parallel---the user just needs to do a bit more work to do so. I think the second point is the most characteristic in BFG (and that is what allows easy parallelization of the filtering). Also, it cannot be stressed enough that the "removing unwanted contents" use case can take advantage of the "bad contents in a blob is bad, no matter where in the tree and when in the history the blob appears". That is what makes BFG particularly shine for the use case. Its design very much aligns the objective the use case wants to achieve. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
