hmm well that's what I did the first time (here's the command from the
history list)
git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/sssd.git
So far I've only reviewed and patched one man page (a couple of weeks
ago) and that went ok, and now I'm trying to do sssd-ldap(5). I've
recloned anyway, as you suggested, and I'll see how we go from here.
Unless I really don't grok git (quite possible), I should be able to do
a git pull on this clone at any time and get the latest man page updates
(along with everything else), right?
thanks
