Yeah, that's a known issue with the git man pages, that they refer to other man pages for almost everything. > Thanks, Behdad. Another very useful git tool, specially for getting an overview of what the project has been up to, is gitk or the GNOME version giggle. You get to see a summary of all commits, their parent-child tree, and choose a commit to see the patch right there. Very handy for patch review and cherry-picking to stable releases for example. > -- > Shaun > > > -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
