Re: Suggestions for documentation

Hi,

   actually I didn't understand the difference between "git clone --bare" and
"git --bare fetch" either... (maybe is not clear in the documentation ?)

For instance, what should be used when setting up a public not-working repository ?

I mean, we can use both

git --bare init
git --bare fetch ... master:master

and

git clone --bare  ...

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

            Claudio

 git-rebase documentation needs some change too. We should add some high level
description in one paragraph at the top of the file.

 I answer the very same question ('why should I want to use git-rebase?')
three times per week.

 I'll submit a patch shortly.
