True. I scanned my Kernel Hackers' Guide to Git and made sure to kill a few straggling references to dash commands: http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html Even though my fingers still want to type git DASH foo, feedback from gitsters caused me to purge most dash references from the guide a while ago. I'm surprised the git docs were not updated at the same time I was being hectored Anyway, it's a fair point and lets definite get the straggling docs converted and consistent. Comments on the above URL welcome, even if unrelated to the current topic at hand. Thanks, Jeff
