Minor documentation problems

Hi,

I'm giving a try to git/cogito after using other systems (particularly
GNU Arch and Bazaar).

I'm looking for a VCS which can suite me (willing to spend some time
learning it) and some collegues (NOT willing to spend more than a few
minutes learning a new tool. "patch" was already too complex, and
someone already requested me to send a full version instead of this
"weird thing that I don't have time to learn"). I'm also looking for a
system for my students, ranging from the somewhat experienced hacker
to the mathematician not caring about computers at all.

The git/cogito duo might do it, let's see.


I found minor problems with the doc, which deserve to be fixed:

* http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/docs/cg-commit.1.html
  Mentions .git/config, but not ~/.gitconfig (which is indeed _the_
  place where I think most people want to set their name and email).

  Side note: it can be interesting to have a command to do this.
  For example, bzr has "bzr whoami 'me [off-list ref]'", which
  avoids having to learn the config file syntax.

* RSS link on the wiki:
  The URL
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc&ddiffs=1&unique=1
  seems to be working as an RSS feed for changes, but it's not linked
  to by http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges. Usually, there's an
  RSS icon, and an HTML <link rel="alternate" ...> to help finding it.

Thanks,
