J. Bruce Fields	e9c0390a92	Documentation: more user-manual todo's Add some more todo's for the user manual. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>	18 years ago
J. Bruce Fields	4c63ff452f	Documentation: git-rebase discussion, miscellaneous user-manual updates Add discussion of git-rebase, patch series, history rewriting. Mention "pull ." as a synonym for "merge". Remind myself of another case I want to cover in the other-vcs's chapter. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>	18 years ago
J. Bruce Fields	6bd9b6822f	Documentation: expand preface and todo's Add a brief description of the organization to the preface, expand the final notes/todo's section, in hopes maybe some others will want to contribute. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>	18 years ago
J. Bruce Fields	d19fbc3c17	Documentation: add git user's manual The goals are: - Readable from beginning to end in order without having read any other git documentation beforehand. - Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too hard to skip around some if you need to. - Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the tutorials) It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a public repository. I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this if any parts seem more useful than the whole.) There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just because those are essential even to people needing read-only access (e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are taken into account. I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.
