Subject: [RFC/PATCH 0/2] Improve rebase documenation
Date: Sun, 19 May 2013 12:52:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368964329-1600-1-git-send-email-philipoakley@iee.org> (raw)
Recent discussions have shown that rebase isn't as well understood as
as perhaps it should be for the basic user.
Add a softer introductory paragraph to the man page description, and
in the second patch, add a second paragraph explaining the build up of
the command so that users have a historical context in which to
rationalise the command structure.
The second patch/paragraph will probably need the quoting checking as
to which are quoting the generic command and which are the same text
as a command example.
Basic wording is borrowed from on-list clarifications.
