Subject: [PATCH] user-manual: set user.name and user.email with repo-config
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2007 01:22:46 +0100 [thread overview]

There are some other places where direct editing of .git/config is
suggested. I'd rather tell the user to use repo-config and add a note
that repo-config saves the configuration to .git/config (or
~/.gitconfig with --global) which can be edited by hand too.
cat .git/config to show the remote configuration can be replaced by
git-repo-config -l | grep '^remote\.'
