From 0f3908758947b2279f5d2d4a294653d76a62d468 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Sat, 3 Feb 2007 23:02:59 -0500 Subject: Cleanup subcommand documentation for git-remote. Jakub Narebski pointed out the positional notation in git-remote's documentation was very confusing, especially now that we have 3 supported subcommands. Instead of referring to subcommands by position, refer to them by name. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
