Hi,
Firstly, thanks for your reply! This is the feedback I was hoping to
hear. My replies below:

Practice what you preach :) Sure, could. Will look into it.

On Fedora 10, git 1.6.0.6.
---
| Modern

\--
Will remember that.

\--
I can mention it as "object ref" or "object(s) ref".
---

\--
Will do.
---
| * Why there is no diagram / graph for tagging?
\--
Will do. I guess it should be a tag symbol pointing to the recent commit?
---
| * Nitpick: you have spelled 'git-format-patch' by mistake
| instead of modern 'git format-patch'.
\--
Ohh! In git 1.6.0.6, I had git-format-patch. I will keep up with the
modern git releases.
---

\--
Will change it.
---
| * I would guess that this usage ("git reset HEAD <file>") is quite
| rare,
\--
I see. I just used it to show it because git printed it in the output,
and someone new to using git should know as to what the output meant.
---
| * I think that actual usage of "git reset --soft" is pretty pretty
| rare since we have "git commit --amend".
\--
Ohh! I just mentioned it to show the difference between --soft and --hard.
---

\--
Yes. I don't yet have many use-cases, but, I guess it is a reasonable
start. Will work on these use cases.
Thanks again!
