I think the end product is much nicer on the web, with very little downside for local viewing. I'm especially happy about the final patch. I don't look at Git's README often, but I always cringe when I see that intro paragraph and think that it's some people's first introduction to what git is. > README => README.md | 54 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- > t/t7001-mv.sh | 2 +- I do not overly care, but I wonder if it would be nice to keep README as a symlink. I don't think that complicates things for people checking out on Windows (we already have RelNotes as a symlink, and IIRC they just get a file with the link contents. Not helpful, but not harmful to them either). -Peff -- 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
