I've rewritten some of the user-manual material that originally came
from the README and removed the corresponding material from git(7). Any
review would be appreciated.
That material was never a great fit for the user manual, and I think the
rewrite is a clear improvement.
The git(7) change might be more contraversial, if for no other reason
than that it's been there so long. I've always found it a little
verbose for a manpage. And it seems aimed at an audience of early git
adopters, and a little heavier on internal details than required.
I attempted to make up for the removal by replacing it by an extremely
short summary and a link to the core-tutorial and the appropriate
user-manual chapter.
The patches follow, and are also available from the "maint" branch at:
