Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] git-svn.txt: replace .git with $GIT_DIR
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 18:45:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380498360-18387-4-git-send-email-keshav.kini@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1380498360-18387-1-git-send-email-keshav.kini@gmail.com>

As $GIT_DIR may not equal '.git', it's usually more generally correct to
refer to files in $GIT_DIR rather than in .git .

This will also allow me to link some of the occurrences of '.git' in
git-svn.txt to a new reference target inside this file in an upcoming
commit, because in AsciiDoc definitions apparently can't start with
a '.' character.
