Hi Guys-
I have a suggestion/request for the git documentation (tutorial), currently accessible from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html
It would be much easier to understand the "Using git for collaboration" section if you put the username (bob or alice) as a prefix to each of the example command prompts, as is common in most linux distributions. This would make it easier to see at a glance who is doing what.
In other words, it would change from this: $ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo $ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master
to this: bob$ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo alice$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master
In the tutorial's current form, I spent so much time looking back into the paragraph text to find out who was typing each command that I eventually printed it out so I could scribble their names on each one.
I hope this change isn't a big deal.
Thanks, -Ian
