From 0af5d8d0d2cc7d4e7ef0af01b4b39dffbf4e3a4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 18:17:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form This is one of the few places where Git violates its own deprecation of the dashed form. It is not necessary, either.
