From 7811d9600f02e70c9f835719c71156c967a684f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Lehmann Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 23:24:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pull: Document the "--[no-]recurse-submodules" options In commits be254a0ea9 and 7dce19d374 the handling of the new fetch options "--[no-]recurse-submodules" had been added to git-pull.sh. But they were not documented as the pull options they now are, so let's fix that.
