Subject: [PATCH] Correct git-pull documentation
Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:24:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1203449072-89011-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 1203137441-52448-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com
The --rebase option was documented in the wrong place (under MERGE
STRATEGIES instead of OPTIONS). Noted the branch.<name>.rebase
option.
