Package: git-core Version: 1:1.6.6-1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/share/man/man1/git-diff.1.gz
Hi, we had a discussion about the learning curve of git on irc and one example was how a new user is supposed to find git-format-patch. He would probably look at git-diff because that is the most similar thing to other tools. It would be good if the git-diff manpage mentioned git-format-patch, e.g. in a SEE ALSO section, since it performes a similar job and just might be what the user really is looking for. There are probably more connections that could be made between the different manpages for git but that was the one example.
