From 268b827d9883e77f395a63e4afa10ebbac10bfcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 22:42:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] everyday: update for v1.5.0 Fix minor mark-up mistakes and adjust to v1.5.0 BCP, namely: - use "git add" instead of "git update-index"; - use "git merge" instead of "git pull ."; - use separate remote layout; - use config instead of remotes/origin file; Also updates "My typical git day" example since now I have 'next' branch these days.
