listings in the manual page, they are taken from git/command-list.txt
so I just reorder the lines in that file (after disabling sorting in
git/Documentation/cmd-list.perl).
I haven't reordered the whol

Hello Jonathan,
Thank you for replying to me earlier. I just wanted to follow up on
this thread. Did you decide not to go with my proposal?
Next week I should have time to send you a patch with the manual page

Hi Jonathan,
If it's really just a matter of needing someone with a newcomer's
perspective, then I'd be happy to look over the ordering of the git
subcommands. You can run the command I provided to glean the frequency
of each subcommand from your shell history, I'll look over the output
and see if

Thank you Jonathan for signaling your willingness to adopt the
documentation philosophy I suggested. That's a quite valuable first

Dear Git Developers,
I am trying to learn how to use Git but I've been put off by not
