You should just add a sentence saying that the command is | | git clone git://server:port/path/ | | 2) Maybe it is better to highlight that after a push on a remote repository, the | user has to do a checkout on that repository (people from the CVS and SVN worlds | get easily confused, otherwise). | | Moreover (and I did not fully understood why) if I just use "git checkout" | without the -f option, I cannot see the changes that have been pushed from the | cloned repository. git-rebase documentation needs some change too. We should add some high level description in one paragraph at the top of the file. I answer the very same question ('why should I want to use git-rebase?') three times per week. I'll submit a patch shortly. -- Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino
