From 2f2de9b4cdc86fef4465925ae7d5b2dcce8ffc8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 00:10:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Documentation: push-pull commands into a separate category. This splits push-pull related commands into a separate category. I think a bigger overhaul of the main index is needed, but have not got around to it. Help is welcome.
