Subject: [PATCH V2] user-manual: remove temporary branch entry from todo list
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 13:16:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1451333804-6431-1-git-send-email-ischis2@cox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqr3i6lbx2.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>

In the section on "How to check out a differnet version of a project"
the "new" branch is used as a temporary branch.

A detached HEAD was not used since it was a new feature introduced
just a couple weeks prior.

The section could be changed to use and explain a detached HEAD,
except that would increase the learning curve early in the manual.

Detached HEADs are discussed a couple sections later under
"Examining an old version without creating a new branch".

 provides.
 
-Simplify beginning by suggesting disconnected head instead of
-temporary branch creation?
-
 Add more good examples.  Entire sections of just cookbook examples
 might be a good idea; maybe make an "advanced examples" section a
 standard end-of-chapter section?
