35 +Running "git mv A B" when you have local changes to A automatically staged
36 +it while moving it to B, which was a longstanding nonsense. This attempts
37 +to fix it. Pasky has other plans to build on a more solidified foundation
38 +to enhance the command to work with submodules better on top of this.

88 +Please make sure next time somebody asks "ours/theirs" merge on the list
