Subject: [PATCH] MyFirstContribution: rephrase contact info
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:03:59 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200214020359.17463-1-emilyshaffer@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqh803fzf1.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com>

Make an effort not to discourage new users from mailing questions to
git@vger.kernel.org, and explain the purpose of the mentoring list in
contrast to the main list.

Since I didn't hear any complaint about
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200206221305.GB190927@google.com, here it
is in a real live commit. There is no difference from the scissors patch
but the commit message.
