Hello,

Remember, those who read "git for CVS users" are _unwilling_ to spend the
time reading git documentation (at least for the most part).  If they
encounter something which is not useful to them, they will not just ignore
it, they will stop reading.


I must disagree with this analysis (although I didn't read the content of the patch you are commenting). People that are not really interested in git will
find many reasons to stop reading the manual anyway. Those who really
want to migrate (such as we did) are looking for every tiny bit of information.
(We googled git commands and error messages because we didn't
find what we needed in the docs)

Could you be a bit more specific? What are the most important
points that you did not found in the documentation?

It would be interesting if you could share some details. Sending
patches that would fix the deficiencies would even be
superior ;)


The docs are not perfect and somewhat unequal in content but I prefer
more information than less, at this particular stage of git development.

I agree if it is git specific information. But, personally,
I'd get a bit annoyed if a git specific document tried to
teach me how to manage Unix accounts. BTW, useradd and such
would not help me at all, because I need to talk to my admin
anyway and he adds an account to the LDAP database.
