+ This command synchorinses your local working copy with the server and is

Note the misspelling.

Wow, I can't believe I missed that - I even thought to myself "should I use a 's' or a 'z' here?". Thanks for catching it.


The s/z thing is because my dictionary doesn't
show the spelling with the s, only the z, but that may be a British
spelling. I'm not sure.

Yep, I think that's worthy of a "policy" in the editors' guide too. Something like "Prefer American spelling over any British alternative". Not for any particular reason other than one needs to be chosen over the other in order to maintain consistency throughout the book.


Cheers,

Matt.
