Actually, git-dir is sufficient for our needs, thanks. I haven't been able to get my hands on man pages for git until this morning. (If you look near the top of this thread you see that I don't have the git man pages because apparently CentOS (and probably RHEL too), doesn't include them when you "yum install git").

Linus posted a response about deployment and development being separated, so I had to point out why that doesn't work for web apps in interpreted languages.

You guys might want to complain to the CentOS (and/or RHEL) maintainers to have them put the man pages into the yum rpm. Er or whoever maintains that (they maintain that rpm, right? I don't know).

Thanks, Jeff,
mike
