Re: Suggestions for documentation

[Claudio Scordino <cloud.of.andor@gmail.com>]

Hi,

    actually I didn't understand the difference between "git clone --bare" and
"git --bare fetch" either... (maybe is not clear in the documentation ?)

For instance, what should be used when setting up a public not-working repository ?

I mean, we can use both

git --bare init
git --bare fetch ... master:master

and

git clone --bare  ...

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

             Claudio
