Honestly speaking, you've spent too much time in looking for every
possible
objections against these simple additions. At least it should be
less than the
time I've spent in measuring every single word of this patch, hoping
you could
consider them for inclusion. You gave me lot of attentions (I am
grateful of this,
really) so I should probably be surprised of the cleanliness of git
code, of the
rigor of the code style, of the clarity of the documentation. But
unfortunately,
I am not. I simply tried to make this document more useful and
helpful for a
wider audience of people that could ever consider of using git in
their life.
And yes, I decided to so because I had trouble myself during initial
configurations.
What's the problem if a document called "git for CVS users" is more
explicated?
What's the problem if it contains as many as possible informations
to set up
git in a viable way and, hopefully, to learn something on how it
does work?
I'm sad. Not only because you refused a documentation patch, but
because i could
have sent a "Bug: Documentation Sucks!" to the ml and i would have
obtained the
same thing: nothing.
On the contrary, I think you received some excellent, high-quality
feedback. The process that you've been participating in over the last
few days is exactly why the Git codebase is as good as it is; only the
very best patches get accepted, and those which aren't "the very best"
receive detailed feedback that help the submitter to turn weak patches
into strong ones. The process works very well and the proof is in the
pudding (the quality of the product).
Cheers,
Wincent
