The master reference TOC page at http://git-scm.com/docs links to all the associated command reference pages, except it seems to be missing a link for gitrevisions(7) (http://git-scm.com/docs/gitrevisions.html).

I've never submitted a patch and thought I would learn how... except the website source doesn't seem to be in the git source tree.

It's in this repo:

  https://github.com/github/gitscm-next.git

Judging from a quick look, the page you linked to is generated from

  app/views/doc/index.html.haml

Note that they work by pull requests, not patches, i.e. you should push your changes to a github fork of gitscm-next and send a pull request.

You might like https://github.com/github/gitscm-next, file lib/constants.rb. (It's the target of the 'hosted on GitHub' link at the bottom of each page, which I admit can be hard to find.)

Hope that helps, Jonathan
