Subject: [PATCH 8/9] Documentation: clarify "working tree" definition
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 05:20:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091009102019.GH16558@progeny.tock> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091009101400.GA16549@progeny.tock>
It is not necessarily obvious to a git novice what it means for a
filesystem tree to be equal to the HEAD. Spell it out.
