Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] apply docs: clarify wording for --intent-to-add
Date: Mon,  7 Jul 2025 08:12:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250707121534.2933349-5-ray@ameretat.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250707121534.2933349-1-ray@ameretat.dev>

Avoid using a double negative, and keep in mind that --index and
--cached are distinct modes of operation.
