From: Anders Melchiorsen Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 20:25:43 GMT Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Documentation: elaborate on pushing tags Message-ID: <1225311945-17100-6-git-send-email-mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> In-Reply-To: <1225311945-17100-5-git-send-email-mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Make the description of pushing tags easier to read, but move the shorthand notation towards the end of the description. This gives a better flow.
