[PATCH] Fix typo in remote branch example in git user manual

Gerrit Pape· Jun 5, 2007, 08:47 UTC · lore

In Documentation/user-manual.txt the example
 $ git checkout --track -b origin/maint maint
under "Getting updates with git pull", should read
 $ git checkout --track -b maint origin/maint

This was noticed by Ron, and reported through
 http://bugs.debian.org/427502
