That would indeed be nice. The best I can do is to suggest that if you're satisfied with the regular Pro Git then my version won't help you. On the other hand, if you find regular Pro Git puzzling, especially in the early chapters, I suggest giving my version a try.

Since I'm giving away my version, you have nothing to loose except perhaps a little time. If I'm right, and my version is clearer, then you could benefit from it.

(You're a git expert so I doubt you need my version).

Cordially, Jon Forrest
