Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] user-manual: simplify the user configuration
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:44:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256377489-16719-3-git-send-email-felipe.contreras@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1256377489-16719-1-git-send-email-felipe.contreras@gmail.com>

This is shorter, avoids the burder to think about the format of the
configuration file, and git config is already used in other places in
the manual.
