Subject: [PATCH] user-manual: Use "git config --global" instead of editing ~/.gitconfig
Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 23:53:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200705102353.31821.johan@herland.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1016 bytes --]

Use git-config for setting global user.name and user.email rather than
telling the user to edit ~/.gitconfig directly. This brings 
user-manual.txt in line with tutorial.txt.
