From 89bf207758530fd151895680f7236ce626feea9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 22:32:38 -0800 Subject: Documentation/git.txt: command re-classification This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with Others") to the command list in the main manual page. The latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is placed before low-level (plumbing) commands. Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category while demoting some others.
