Isn't "browse the revisions, file contents and logs" saying the same thing as "browse your project's files and history"? Mention of the additional features in the last sentence is a very good thing to have here. > +The linkgit:git-instaweb[1] command provides an simple way to start > +browsing the repository. s/an simple/a simple/; "... a simple way to start browsing the repository using gitweb", perhaps? What's notable about "instaweb" is that it talks with an on-demand instance of "gitweb" and that is the only reason why we may want to mention it together with "gitweb". There are other repository browsers (like "tig") that do not talk with a local "gitweb", and we are not intersted in mentioning them all here. > The defualt server when using instaweb is > +lighttpd. s/defualt/default/; > +See the file gitweb/INSTALL in the Git source tree and > +linkgit:gitweb[1] for instructions on details setting up a permament > +installation with a CGI or Perl capable server. > > [[sharing-development-examples]] > Examples > @@ -4651,8 +4661,6 @@ documentation. > Add a section on working with other version control systems, including > CVS, Subversion, and just imports of series of release tarballs. > > -More details on gitweb? > - > Write a chapter on using plumbing and writing scripts. > > Alternates, clone -reference, etc. Other than that, looks good to me. Thanks.
