As it is, there’s too much repetition for that. I am of two minds. It is frustrating if "git clone" (or "git fetch", or "git remote") page didn't list any examples an intelligent person (or at least one who thinks he is intelligent enough) to mimic and instead referred him with "look there" indirections. While I fully share your "cover-to-cover" concern, the current organization was chosen to minimize such indirection. It is optimized for different audiences than we are (I am also from "cover-to-cover" school) who want to pick only the pages relevant to the task at hand. -- 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
