Subject: [PATCH 2/5] documentation: add brief mention of cat-file to tutorial part I
Date: Mon, 29 May 2006 19:31:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1148945496592-git-send-email-bfields@fieldses.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11489454961705-git-send-email-bfields@fieldses.org>

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

I'd rather avoid git cat-file so early on, but the

	git-cat-file -p old-commit:/path/to/file

trick is too useful....

Also fix a nearby typo while we're at it.
