From 1615c567b8cf65725f4aee5206ad5a04273794dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Taylor Blau Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 18:37:34 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/config/pack.txt: advertise 'pack.writeReverseIndex' Now that the pack.writeReverseIndex configuration is respected in both 'git index-pack' and 'git pack-objects' (and therefore, all of their callers), we can safely advertise it for use in the git-config manual.
