   Hi.
   StGIT 'stg import' documentation at 
http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial states that this 
command is equivalent to:
> "stg new" followed by "patch -i <file>", then "stg refresh -e"
   However, 'stg refresh' does not accept the -e option (which most 
likely has something to do with calling an external editor to edit the a 
log message).
   Hope this helps.
   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetić

That's right: stg refresh lost the -e option in the 0.14 release. It'll be added back for the 0.15 release.

Until then, do stg refresh && stg edit.

Yes, the tutorial is in sore need of a fresh coat of paint.

Now that you mentioned it, should we just replace the wiki tutorial by a static page generated from Documentation/tutorial.txt?

If no-one feels like writing documentation, I'll have a go at updating the tutorial.

Yes. That way it could get updated along with the rest of StGit.

Please do. I'm always just about to do something about the documentation, but there's always something else that's in front of it in my pipeline ...
