[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] Introduce git-discard

From: Thomas Rast <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:05
Subsystem: documentation, kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

The new command 'git discard' is precisely the same as 'git checkout --'.
