Both are include-type filters. "--include A --include B" will give the same result as "--include B --include A" too. Are there existing include/exclude filters where order does not matter? For example gitattributes(5) says "When more than one pattern matches the path, a later line overrides an earlier line." Ignoring (possible) inconsistency thing, I think they are easy to understand and use. -- Piotr Krukowiecki -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
