Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.6.5-1 Severity: minor Using man-db 2.5.2-2, the git-branch manual page has some strange characters in the EXAMPLES section around the footnote numbers. Here is a copy and paste of the section as it appears in gnome-terminal:
EXAMPLES
Start development off of a known tag
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6
$ cd my2.6
$ git branch my2.6.14 v2.6.14 âfB(1)âfR
$ git checkout my2.6.14
â
âfB1. âfRThis step and the next one could be combined into a single
step with "checkout -b my2.6.14 v2.6.14". â
.RE
Delete unneeded branch
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git
$ cd my.git
$ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man
âfB(1)âfR
$ git branch -D test
âfB(2)âfR
â
âfB1. âfRDelete remote-tracking branches "todo", "html", "man".
Next fetch or pull will create them again unless you configure them not to. See
git-fetch(1). â
âfB2. âfRDelete "test" branch even if the "master" branch (or
whichever branch is currently checked out) does not have all commits from test
branch. â
