Could be. Though when I used it I thought the git-svn manpage was actually very good, so I'd be tempted to just point to that. > 2) does it worth to document a typical usage of tailor? we used it a lot > when converting from darcs to git and once you figure out the right > options, it's really easy to use it. but maybe it's unrelated. I think we should try to keep the git documentation mostly confined to tools that are distributed with git itself. So it might be worth a few words just to mention the existance of tailor and how it compares to other tools, but I'd leave it at that. --b.
