You would need to check out an old revision, say v0.99, and look at the original tutorial by Linus in Documentation/tutorial.txt. It was since rewritten into Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt but the original command sequence Linus used from the initial version of git was replaced with their more modern variants (e.g. Linus used "git-update-cache --add" but the updated tutorial talks about "git add" that did not exist nor Linus needed to have back then). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
