Hi Max, it seems that this is some sort of caching problem on git-scm.com. I saw you've already opened an issue at https://github.com/github/gitscm-next/issues/232. So there's probably not much you can do right now. And I don't know any better source for documentation right now, apart from the locally installed HTML version.

Sure, it strives to be up-to-date, but fact is that it fails to do that, due to a bug (I guess). The end result (failure to update at all, vs. failure in an attempted update) sadly amount to the same. > >> It gets an >> update after every single release of Git. >> See e.g. http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config which was updated in the >> current stable version. >> It seems that git-remote-helper's documentation was just not updated >> since version 1.7.12.3. > > Yes, and it is not alone in that, which makes the site somewhat unreliable, sadly. Some more examples of pages tuck at version 1.7.12.3 and showing outdated content: > > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-log > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge-base > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-mergetool > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-reset > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-rm > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-status > http://git-scm.com/docs/git-symbolic-ref > > I did not bother to check every single page, though, and I am pretty sure there are plenty more. Because there definitely is a plethora of other pages that are stuck at 1.7.12.3. Several of them still show the latest version due to not having had updates since the 1.7.12.3, but that is not always easy to tell due to included files (e.g. git-log.txt was not changed v1.7.12.2, but it includes rev-list-options.txt which was last changed in 1.8.1). > > > So, yeah, I do think git-scm.com is outdated -- in the sense that for many pages, it does not show the latest officially released version of the page. > > > Best regards, > Max -- 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
