From 93cbbd7121c34b04576518b663f188c5495d4575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergei Organov Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 12:08:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] user-manual: minor rewording for clarity. Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch; rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description clearer. Also revert the rewording from head to branch. The description is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head is clearer. Based on input from Sergei and Bruce.
