Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation: split gitignore page into sections
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 12:57:39 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101110185739.GB12365@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101110185555.GA12365@burratino>

A learner-by-example might want to look at the examples section first.
Help her out by supplying some section headings: PATTERN FORMAT for
the format of lines in an excludes file and EXAMPLES for the two
examples.
