From 3598a308086d4a41cab1e941df7763f2004e53c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2006 17:43:47 -0500 Subject: Docs: split up pull-fetch-param.txt The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the other. So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without making us duplicate too much. Signed-off-by: J.
