From ae6ef554c8c785f96fce482e33cc78080aafc43f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 05:05:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" text Less work and more error checking (e.g. does a merge base exist?). Add an explicit push before request-pull to satisfy request-pull, which checks to make sure the references are publically available. Signed-off-by: W.
