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 <grin>

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
