From bf07cc58aeb84b1262cc58f571d2f7033474efa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Sixt Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 16:26:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] git-push.txt: Describe --repo option in more detail The --repo option was described in a way that the reader would have to assume that it is the same as the parameter. But it actually servers a purpose, which is now written down. Furthermore, the --mirror option was missing from the synopsis. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
