Subject: [PATCH v2] Documentation/remote-helpers: Add invocation section
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:17:10 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f3271551003300947u4c7c2a83q13aaf786140bfa37@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Add an invocation section to specify what the command line arguments
mean. Also include a link to git-remote in the see also section.
---
 The first version contained too much information.
 Followed Daniel Barkalow's suggestion to strip it of caller information.

+INVOCATION
+----------
+
+Remote helper programs are invoked with one or optionally two
+arguments on the command line. The first argument specifies a remote
+to use; typically, it is either the name of a remote in the
+configuration or just a URL. The second argument is a URL, and serves
+to resolve ambiguities that may arise when only the first argument is
+specified.
