[PATCH 0/5] git help: group common commands by theme

From: Sébastien Guimmara <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:04:46

This v6 is very similar in content to the v5 [1], except minor formatting
adjustments in 'git help' output and recommendations from Eric.

The major change is in the patch series itself. Commits have been
reordered and adjusted so that each 'apply' doesn't break the build, and
preserve bisectability.

Summary: make 'git help' outputs a more usable and friendlier
list of commands, grouped by theme according to the typical Git workflow:

[...]

The typical Git workflow includes:

start a working area (see also: git help tutorial):
   clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
   init       Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one

work on the current change (see also: git help everyday):
   add        Add file contents to the index
   mv         Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
   reset      Reset current HEAD to the specified state
   rm         Remove files from the working tree and from the index

[...]

Many thanks to Eric Sunshine for the detailed help and advice !
