While the first hunk looks to me a definite improvement, I am lukewarm about s/work tree/working tree/ change. Both terms are used fairly commonly in our documentation set. "Work tree" has ~70 hits vs ~350 for "working tree" (ignoring the case where these words are split across lines, i.e. "work/working" at the end of the line followed by a line that begins with "tree"). -- 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
