From 93dbefb389a011c9107a3908fd38e743055be267 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manav Rathi Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 13:39:00 +0530 Subject: docs: improve discoverability of exclude pathspec The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be useful. Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability. Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages. Additionally, - Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present. - Add a test for the ^ alias. - Improve name of existing test. - Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.
