What might help a lot of people (me, for one) would be a cookbook listing how to do things that those of us on the fringe might want to do. For example: "type this to pull Linus's tree, and this to bisect it" (I already know how to do this one, actually) "type this to pull a linux-next tree, and this to bisect it" (Last time I tried, the pull went OK, but I couldn't figure out how to give 'git bisect' a start/end commit that it was happy with). "'git log foo/bar/baz.c' is your friend if you're chasing a recently added bug/regression in baz.c" Hmm... it occurs to me that my only actual use for git is to find a commit ID so when I whinge to a developer, we're on the same page... ;) --==_Exmh_1230093318_3347P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFJUbwGcC3lWbTT17ARAvi+AKCJ86HgkWoEL4cao/90pUu7iw5q+QCgheUr fxcO+TZCEih0XHc4Qn5TqQk= =g8eh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1230093318_3347P-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
