From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2008 05:28:15 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changes X-Git-Tag: v1.6.0-rc0~146 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=467c0197fd0a49078d05839ee385046cd3707a5b;p=git.git Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changes With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever `. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.
