It refers to the name of the repository whose natural name is "git", as most people get it by git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git and telling the users to do git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-manpages.git in the same directory as they cloned git.git into (i.e. have these two next to their clone of git.git, which is typically called "git"). I'll revert this part. > diff --git a/Documentation/git-rm.txt b/Documentation/git-rm.txt > index 262436b..1e5ef3b 100644 > --- a/Documentation/git-rm.txt > +++ b/Documentation/git-rm.txt > @@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ DISCUSSION > > The <file> list given to the command can be exact pathnames, > file glob patterns, or leading directory names.

Unrelated to the topic of this series, but didn't GNU patch add this recently?

It is trying to refer to things like "cat-file" as "git command" (even though technically I would call them "subcommands"), and I would say "cat-file" is a subcommand of the system whose whole is known as "Git". So I think s/git/Git/ is warranted here. > diff --git a/Documentation/git-init.txt b/Documentation/git-init.txt > index 9ac2bba..2571f56 100644 > --- a/Documentation/git-init.txt > +++ b/Documentation/git-init.txt > @@ -58,19 +58,19 @@ DIRECTORY" section below.) > --separate-git-dir=<git dir>:: > > Instead of initializing the repository where it is supposed to be, > -place a filesytem-agnostic git symbolic link there, pointing to the > -specified git path, and initialize a git repository at the path.

The > +result is Git repository can be separated from working tree. If this Not a problem with this conversion, but I think "pointing to the specified [gG]it path" should be without "[gG]it". There is nothing specially Git about the path to the directory the user specifies. It is just an ordinary filesystem path. I'll try to fix all of the above up locally and re-queue, so please eyeball the results once it is pushed out. -- 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
