Subject: [PATCH] Docs: Describe omitted <repository> behavior in a prominent place
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 22:32:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4bbb8fa3.0f1abc0a.2383.7991@mx.google.com> (raw)

The documentation of which repository is pushed to when the repository
flag is omitted was only mentioned under the --repo flag.

It is now described under the <repository> argument.
