I must disagree with this analysis (although I didn't read the content of the
patch you are commenting). People that are not really interested in git will
find many reasons to stop reading the manual anyway. Those who really
want to migrate (such as we did) are looking for every tiny bit of information.
(We googled git commands and error messages because we didn't
find what we needed in the docs)
The docs are not perfect and somewhat unequal in content but I prefer
more information than less, at this particular stage of git development.
