Revision 09ccbd34f4fe37a682a10b23d86f915b2a8a9c28 authored by Pete Wyckoff on 26 February 2012, 15:37:27 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 27 February 2012, 00:20:18 UTC
This works in both bash and dash:

    $ bash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR
    VAR=1
    $ dash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR
    VAR=1

But environment variables assigned this way are not necessarily propagated
through a function in POSIX compliant shells:

    $ bash -c 'f() { "$@"
    }; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR
    VAR=1
    $ dash -c 'f() { "$@"
    }; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR

Fix constructs like this, in particular, setting variables through
test_must_fail.

NAME
----
git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git mv' <options>... <args>...

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.

 git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination>
 git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory>

In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either
a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>.
In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing
directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory.

The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be
committed.

OPTIONS
-------
-f::
--force::
	Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists
-k::
        Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error
	condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor
        controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing
        file unless '-f' is given.
-n::
--dry-run::
	Do nothing; only show what would happen

-v::
--verbose::
	Report the names of files as they are moved.
