Subject: git-fast-export bundle doc
Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2009 08:52:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r63lus6k.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

Please improve git-fast-export.txt. It says

       This program dumps the given revisions in a form suitable to be
       piped into git-fast-import.

<revlist> isn't mentioned in the SYNOPSIS.
And there is no hyperlink to the git-fast-import man page, nor in SEE ALSO.)

       You can use it as a human readable bundle replacement (see
       git-bundle(1))

But I tried it and there are apparently a few steps not mentioned that
are needed after git-fast-import before you can actually see the files
again on the other side of the sneakernet.

I used --all, which is in EXAMPLES but not OPTIONS.

Else nothing happens and no error is caught:
$ git fast-export
$

Also the git-bundle man page should SEE ALSO git-fast-export and maybe
even git-fast-import, which itself makes no mention of git-fast-export.
