Don't know if you've applied this fix, but I just downloaded the 1.7.10 man pages, and they URLs are now: 1. Everyday Git git-htmldocs/everyday.html 2. Git User's Manual git-htmldocs/user-manual.html 3. git concepts chapter of the user-manual git-htmldocs/user-manual.html#git-concepts 4. howto git-htmldocs/howto-index.html 5. GIT API documentation git-htmldocs/technical/api-index.html Which also aren't very useful. :-( David -- 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
