From: Michael J Gruber Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2010 16:11:41 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parse X-Git-Tag: v1.7.2~24^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f028cdae6663166ebfd777e73aacce1f5e7159d6;p=git.git Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parse Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except - when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or - in very technical context (git-send-pack).
