Subject: [PATCH] Fixed git-push manpage
Date: Sun,  5 Aug 2007 10:52:15 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11862913353314-git-send-email-jyotirmoy@jyotirmoy.net> (raw)

In git-push it is the remote repository and not the
local repository which is fast forwarded. The description
of the -f option in the git-push manpage gets it the other
way round.
