I will happily work on this as soon as Linus says that he'll accept it. That way when people make changes to the options and behaviour of commands they can trivially update the README.reference too.

Petr accepted an early version but then it became 'core git' rather than Cogito so it made more sense to put it in Linus' tree.

I don't know if Linus just doesn't get my mails (ISPs?) or if he's not bothered about docs right now? or he's plain busy?

I've spent many many hours doing this and I'm happy to spend many more - but I'm at that frustrated point where it makes no sense until I know it's of use.

Fingers crossed :)
