From 37ba05619c76f9dbde35c418c6fc8af7bcda24c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Ruder Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2007 17:21:36 -0500 Subject: Add urls.txt to git-clone man page Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.
